No, there isn't.
None of the major browsers will allow a default for an upload file field to be set from the server-side. It's a security issue. Think about it: If the browser allowed a default value in this field, what would prevent a malicious website from defaulting the most likely path to your outlook file with all your names and addresses, and using JavaScript to submit the form before you even knew what was happening?
One possible work-around would be to use JavaScript to validate the other fields before the form is submitted.
