    Javascript deliberately isn't given access to the operating system. If anyone came out with a browser that allowed Javascript to do that, it would immediately be denounced as a security risk and not many knowledgeable people would even bother downloading it.

    Who ever said that IE isn't a huge security risk? (Not kidding much.)

    Not with any current browser, and lets hope not with any browser written in the future.

    You're asking whether bank vaults have unlocked doors opening into the alley behind the bank. Let's hope that no bank I have my money in ever does that.
