The message when attempting to write a file to the local hard drive with a
browser run javascript give the warning message "Some software controls
[ActiveX] on this page may be unsafe. It is reccommended you not run it. Do
you want to allow it to run".
What's the problem here. Is it simply that I have access to the file system
and could stuff up the hard drive for the client if I had the intent, or if
the Microsoft routine that allows me to do this buggy?
