Link to My Computer....

[codeone]

Hi,

OK, I'm not talking about some hacker sneaking into my system using a back door trojan, or anything malicious. What I want to do is simply link an Iframe to the My computer directory, something like:
==========================================

<Iframe src=&quot;My Computer&quot; width=420 height=420></iframe>

==========================================
of course the above wont work, so I'm asking you what is the actual address to the my computer directory?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

No, you can't do that like that. You can, however, link to an individual drive, like this:

<IFRAME NAME=&quot;ADrive&quot; SRC=&quot;A:\&quot; WIDTH=&quot;50%&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;20%&quot;></IFRAME>
<IFRAME NAME=&quot;CDrive&quot; SRC=&quot;C:\&quot; WIDTH=&quot;50%&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;20%&quot;></IFRAME>
<IFRAME NAME=&quot;DDrive&quot; SRC=&quot;D:\&quot; WIDTH=&quot;50%&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;20%&quot;></IFRAME>
<IFRAME NAME=&quot;EDrive&quot; SRC=&quot;E:\&quot; WIDTH=&quot;50%&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;20%&quot;></IFRAME>

You could also try using this solution:

Well, this security thing is one big pain in my... well you know were. I keep running into ALL of them like, you can't auto turn off a window without the dumb question, though there is still ways with IE, & you can't link straight to the My Computer directory, etc, etc, etc. I know all this is for my own good, but as a innovative developer it is hard to stay within the lines. Despite the disapointment I really appreciate all the info as swift and as informative as it always is.

till my next question,

Codeone,

Do you perhaps mean something like this which would give you a directory listing:

<input type=&quot;file&quot; size=&quot;60&quot; />

You could point to a directory on your computer but not 'My computer' as this is not actually a physical drive. You can share drives like your c drive. I do this with IIS and folder sharing.

my friends,

actually ristmo pointed me to a VBscript which is close to what I was looking to implement, though to display it in an iframe is something I believe is done only in C++, so I decided to reference the C:drive instead.

Thanks the same,
