You should not do this. Saving files onto someone's computer without their consent is quite rude and only really useful for trojans/backdoors. If you want to save state information, use a cookie.

Might be possible via ActiveX, if the client's browser settings allow for it, BUT unless you're developing a closed shop solution for an intranet this not advisable. Why should anybody allow a web application to find any particular folder on their computers filesystem. That sounds very intrusive to me and would in my eyes not constitute acceptable behaviour for a web application.
If the server hides certain files from me and disallows inspection of it's folders, why should I allow the server to do this on my system?

Maybe if you elaborate your need for this scenario I could better comprehend and maybe find this path a viable one.

You can't just "get a path" from the client box in ASP.Net. It's simply not possible. It's called "security". Google is your friend.

Saying you can't is just as wrong as trying to go for such a solution. As I pointed out in my answer it could be done on browsers that are able to host ActiveX controls. I wouldn't allow for it on my computer, but OP has yet to answer my request for laying out his application scenario.
