You shouldn't be able to from what I know.
That would violate the browser security.

Perhaps you meant "JavaScript"? Yes, in the right runtime environment.
Here are two environments that can:

Sash: http://sash.alphaworks.ibm.com/
WSH:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...n-us/script56/html/wsoriWindowsScriptHost.asp

The webbrowser environment does not ordinarily permit this.

No, not in the standard browser security environment.

In the standard web environment no, but on your local PC you can, e.g.

var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var myfile = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\\myfile.txt", true);
myfile.WriteLine("Some test.");
myfile.Close();

Search Google for FileSystemObject for more information.

If you have some antivirus program, it may stop the script.

A previous post shows an IE only method, if you want to do the same
thing in Mozilla or Netscape 7 then have a look at this tip:
