ocx came from Microsoft on MSN Space. when user accept activex, it reads our harddisk to add pitcures. There must have been an ocx. I have to find or I will die

You can make an ocx yourself, but it works on IE only.

with the using of FSO (File System Object), u can read a file

<%
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f=fs.OpenTextFile("C:/Documents and Settings/username/blabla.txt", 1)
Response.Write(f.ReadAll)
f.Close
Set f=Nothing
Set fs=Nothing
%>

Browsers don't allow this due to user's security settings. Firefox and opera strictly forbid this, while IE uses security zone to enforce the permissions given to web page.
