If the Silverlight avenue is an option, the Silverlight OpenFileDialog might be worth considering.

Note that ASP.NET merely renders the HTML file input, and the browser handles the rest. If you want different behavior, you'll need to do something on the client side, like JavaScript, Flash, etc.

I would start with Uploadify, which uses jQuery and Flash.
