You could do something in the form of
1) Having IE host a .NET Control via your page
2) Sign the assembly that contains the control
3) Grant Full Trust to the assembly on the client
That should give the control sufficient permissions to modify the computer.
The trick is step #3. For that you would need
1) Have the client user manually grant the assembly sufficient trust
2) Host a separate ActiveX control that grants the assembly trust.
I don't think the average user will want to do #1 and #2 is back into an
unmanaged solution.

In terms on managed solutions I don't know of good one.
I don't believe there is.

client machine.
To get acces you will have to take a different route. Most people would
try an ActiveX control here since they run inside the browser on the
client machine and as such have access to the file system. However this
is an unmanaged solution.

I have a Web application.
How could I copy a file from one path on the client machine to another
path on the client machine?
Thanks.
