[Tutor] 2 questions......novice but not beginner

[Mike Pippin]

Please HELP...........
 First....
I need to know how to allow the user to search their local drives and
directories in order to load a file...or if there are any pre-written
opensource functions that will also be well appreciated..
Second....
I need to know how to render graphics without the windowed enviroment.....I
know with pygame you can have a windowless enviroment but I need to be able
to have only the graphics i choose displayed on the screen without pygame
filling the rest of the screen with black if thats possible.
 ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.....thank you in advance to anyone
who can help me!!
