RE: help with GetOpenFileName
Well, it seems like you first have to construct an OPENFILENAME structure, but I found something which is easier to use in my opinion.
code:
Original code by -!Felu!-, posted at the MP!L Script Developers Rescource
function BrowseForFile(InitialDir){
BrowseFilter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files|*.*";
  var BrowseDialog = new ActiveXObject("UserAccounts.CommonDialog")
  BrowseDialog.Filter = BrowseFilter;
  BrowseDialog.InitialDir = InitialDir;
  BrowseDialog.Flags = "&H4";
  BrowseDialog.ShowOpen();
  return BrowseDialog.FileName;
}
Just call the function with a initial directory path (e.g.: "C:\") and it'll open a dialog and returns the chosen path.

NOTE: This object is only available since Windows XP, but because Windows Live Messenger and Messenger Plus! Live only support XP or higher, there's no need to think of supporting pre-XP. ;)

Hmm, that one seems to be a bit more advanced, yes. :P
