That is a Tk question, not an R question. I presume you might mean via
tk_getOpenFile -initialdir ? It's a subtle one, as 'My Computer' (sic,
with a space') is not an actual directory and you need to ask elsewhere.

Only if there is a file in the directory. Then select any file and use
dirname() on the result.
R-devel has a function choose.dir that makes this easier using the same
widget used for the 'Change dir ...' item on RGui's file menu.
