@Khalid_AliJul 21.2003 — why would you want to do that using javascript..???

You can not access a local systems resource using JavaScript.You will have to write a stand alone application and install it on the machine...

@nnarayanusauthorJul 21.2003 — I will have to explore the possibility of doing it from the browser.

That's why ?

@nnarayanusauthorJul 21.2003 — Thanks brendandonhue,

I need to do it on the Intranet, so security is not a problem

Do you have any code snippet on VBS do acheive this.

Also does it require IIS or works on any web server ?

@Khalid_AliJul 21.2003 — As I said,this would be a serious breach in security to write program like this,that can be used from the browsers.I sense foul play..
