WScript within ASP

[amutinu]

Hello All,
Is there a way to use "WScript.Shell" from within asp to retrieve some registry information on the client side. I want to retrieve the default printer name from the client's registry using "WScript.Shell" One of my friend mentioned this to me but am not sure whether this can be run on client side. I would really appreciate your help.

Client Config:
Win2K or WinNT
ASP

Code:
set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
If Error.Number <> 0 then
MsgBox &quot;Error Occured&quot;
Else
.....
End If

When i run this from the browser. it gives me an error message. I haven't used windows scripting before, so i would apprecaite any help on this.

thanks
