I saw an option of loading a SQL database from the application install directory (not isolated storage). see http://blog.arsanth.com/index.php/2011/06/02/working-with-pre-populated-sql-ce-databases-in-wp7/ for details. This can be done using the connection string e.g. datasource=’appdata:/db.sdf’; mode=’read only'. You might be able to do something similar to read files from the Application Install directory.

It is not possible. Every app has its own directory and permissions to operate inside it. There is no chance to get to files outside that directory.

You can use launchers and choosers to get some data from other places (like contact list or photos) but you cannot get to that files directly.
