You'd need to host an ActiveX control in your page, or some other thick
client that has permission to poke around into such system details.

An alternative is to try and instantiate outlook via client side script, but
default browser security permissions don't allow this. You'd have to get
the user to adjust their browser security settings one way or another, which
isn't likely to happen in most cases.
