I suspect not. Javascript is supposed to prevent the program from messing with you local environment. Could be some control to allow it. I wouldn't want some random web page invoking an Applescript that messes with my file system.


You need activex on a windows machine. Microsoft is happy to like you download any random program and run it on your Windows box. I do not run Windows.
