Okay, then, Airblader. Let's just say your answer is irrelevant.

Of course you are right in the general case of all browsers. But...

Because *CLEARLY* this line in his code:

Code:

    var object = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

limits the use of his code to MSIE only.

So giving an answer that is not MSIE-only is irrelevant to his code.
