Hey…I am not an expert but um… i believe Flash is supposed to be only for client side, …what u could do, i am not sure if this would work in yur case, but u could try using vb with fscommand, and then that way u could link it to a .dll

I don’t believe you can access any system files through Flash, that would be a security risk.
