 You can't mess with the user's file system without their permission.

If the browser didn't keep client-side code in a sandbox, anyone could do anything they liked with your system. Just think about that a minute. You can allow that to be broken by overtly giving permission to install something like an active-X control. The world of white-shoed, plaid-jacketed scumbags on the internet often succeed in getting dummies to click 'YES" for they know not what. I clean up these systems allatime. You cannot access the client's system with Javascript.

I believe you can alter the user's files using signed applets (so the user has to accept it first).
