I don't think there's any way to get what you're looking for now; the
multipart-form-data parser now works around the incorrect data being
sent from IE. Besides, even in an intranet app, how would you
(reliably) resolve a C: reference?

Some links to check out for multiple-file upload (the most popular
method is SWFUpload):

http://github.com/bsmith/rails-swfupload/tree/master
http://www.davesouth.org/stories/multiple-uploads-using-rails-swfupload-and-attachmentfu

The SWFUpload Flash part is open-source, so it should be relatively
straightforward to modify it to behave like you want (pick one file,
queue all the files in that directory).
