    Hi Kalyan,

    I honestly don't believe that this is possible as it exceeds JavaScript's security confines!

    Sorry

    Javascript doesn't allow that information to be accessed from an untrusted script. Your only real option would be if you used Internet Explorer's HTML Application interface. It would ask the user if they would like to Save or Open... they click Open, and it runs in a trusted manner.

    The browser itself exposes certain parts of the users' computer to the javascript Object Model. You can generally determine the Operating System, Browser, etc etc by using the navigator object...

    navigator.appVersion

    etc etc
