FAQ Topic - How can I access the client-side filesystem?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Security means that by default you can't. In a more restricted
environment, there are options. For example, using LiveConnect
to connect to Java with Netscape, and using the FileSystemObject
in IE. Check

It can AIUI be done from A browser, by using an HTA. It can be done to
some extent by any browser running a local copy of a Web page. It can
be done, I have no doubt, by JScript under WSH.

This sentence is colloquial and malformed. It could be "This depends on
the security context in which the page is running."

I think he meant "a less restrictive environment"...

JScript was covered - It will use FileSystemObject, as does VBSCript.
