I am using asp.net framework 3.5 (ASPX web pages)
I can understand that the IE security settings cannot be changed by ASPX page due to security issues. My question here is to read a security setting to decide whether to display/hide a control on ASPX page through javacript. I want to read "Drag and Drop or Copy and paste files" security setting of client IE browser.

Scenario here is: I have PASTE button on the page which will paste the clipbooard data (using ClipboardData object) in the datagrid. But the "Drag and Drop or Copy and paste files" setting is disabled on client side in IE, paste functionality does not work. I want to read this setting in javascript and if this setting is disabled in IE, I will show a textbox before PASTE button to paste the data in that textbox first and then click paste button to fill data in the datagrid.
