No matter how many times you ask this differently, the end result is the same. Silverlight is sandboxed, and you cannot write an app inside your browser, and expect it to have free access to your users hard drive. Given what I see of the sort of work happening in the outsourcing industry today, if that were not the case, I'd disconnect my computer from the internet, or at least require the bio of every person who worked on a web page, before I'd consider viewing it. Certainly, the users of your silverlight app, will be horrified and furious to find that you've deleted all their cookies and their browsing history, in the unlikely event that you succeed in your bizare and insane quest to do so.
