You can't get that information at all for security reasons, in Javascript or C# - there is no access to that type of information at all.

You can find solution for Firefox (check their docs) and IE (ActiveX controls), but both require user acceptance. As is said before, it would be terrible security risk to have javascript (or any front-end language) access your computer.

Imagine having codeproject rumage through your disk to see if you have good articles unposted. Government checking for dissidents. Hackers just waiting to scramble your files...
