Users Harddrive! Help!

[Renzy]

Hi,

Is it possible to check a particular file in the user's harddrive? 'coz I have this problem, I want the user's to download our smileys to speed up our email so that I could give a relative url to our users. I hope you could give me ideas.

Thanks a lot

If you write an ActiveX control that the user gave you permission to install on their machine, then you can gain access via the fileSystemObject.

Short of that, you cannot do it... by default, you only have rights to their cookies folder.

I have find some ways that the users can install our graphics and it is successful. I add a particular folder in the Program files of the users computer. The only problem i have is how can I check to the users computer everytime they open our site that they have downloaded the graphics already, so that I could give the relative url of the graphics to speed up things.

You have mentioned about filesystemobject, Is it possible to use that 'coz I know that if I path my filesystemobject with c:\ It will check to the servers drive c:\ and not to the users drive. But if it really works on users harddrive could you explain it how.

Thanks again
