html_code_clinic thread: Getting system information using some kind of ActiveX component


Message #1 by Arjan Bosboom <Arjan.Bosboom@d...> on Tue, 29 Jan 2002 16:27:56 +0100
As far as I know, you can do ANYTHING with an activeX component, and sure
you can export the necessary properties. BUT, the user will have to set
her/his explorer to allow the ActiveX download & excecution, including its
command sequence. An example: I've programmed ActiveX objects having access
to the file system. I could have even erased the \windows directory.
