The short answer: under normal circumstances, you can't.

The browser runs as a sandbox with no rights to the user's local machine. The basic idea is to ensure that no web code can perform actions that could damage the user's machine. Allowing access directly to the client's drives would be a major security exploit. Unless you are developing for a controlled environment, such as your corporate intranet, you really don't want to go down this road.

That being said, there are two ways that come to mind to accomplish it. If you are concerned with IE only, you could write an ActiveX control that has functions to interact with the drives, and manipulate it using javascript. As a cross-browser alternative, you could also create a signed javascript file, and assert that you need local file system permissions.

Hope that helps a bit. Smile | :)
