Yes, see ?choose.files.  Just specify filters=yourFilters.  If you want 
to make a permanent change, you write your own choose.files function to 
mask the one in the utils package, or you could use (but expect others 
users of choose.files() to break when you do this).

assignInNamespace("Filters", yourFilters, "utils")
