Reminds me of the old ActiveX days - I wrote a whole WYSIWYG website editor using the ActiveX component that let you read/write files.

I mean that was fun for a young budding developer, but I can see the major security issues with this. I really hope this has been thought through.

I can imagine this being another one of those popups that constantly appear on websites - are certain files protected like your hosts file or does it rely upon the access level of the user running the browser?
