I am getting a better picture of what you are trying to do. The BEST thing you can do is learn Java and write a client application. Java is designed and allowed to dive into the OS file system, where JavaScript\HTML\CSS are not designed to dive into the OS file system (thus physically can not do it). There may be some weird way to do it with another small language...I suggest you do a google search and see what you can find out. You will want a language that can access the OS file system and talk to your webpage.

OH, and as far as getting rid of frames, try using normal CSS layout techniques and see if iFrames will do the trick for you.
