How to type a filename in the ASP.NET FileUpload Control

I'm Using the ASP.NET FileUpload Control for the first time and so far its working, except one thing: It seems that it is not possible to type a path and filename like

C:\Temp\myfile.txt

into the FileUpload control directly. I always have to use the OpenFileDialog.

Is there a way to enable the text box of the FileUpload control, so I can type into it?

I'm using ASP.NET 4.0.

Not that I know of. I believe the reason for this is that you could theoretically write javascript to populate it with "c:\path\to\awesome\file.txt" and upload it silently without the user's knowledge, therefore it's not possible to type stuff into it or pre-populate it in any way.
