Unfortunately the answer is NO. Because the dialog is a component of browswer and we don't have a control on that. I had exact requirement ( I have to upload only .xls files). So we used the script mentioned in the previous message.
If you find any better solution, please update us.
Happy holidays,
Sreenivasa Majji.
