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

No, not in the standard browser security environment.

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/de...ScriptHost.asp

The webbrowser environment does not ordinarily permit this.

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:
