'Filling in input type=file
I know that prefilling of <input type = file /> tags in HTML is not allowed due to security reasons. But is there any automated way through scripts of any sorts to fill the field with a prespecified file (by the user, and not the server) in an automatic way?

This is not possible (for good reasons), and is in fact considered a security issue if it were possible to do so. Imagine if a server could automatically select a file on the user's computer to upload. Scary, huh?
You can see that Microsoft addressed this in a bug report.
