Before using the Plug-in, I was unable to access my hard drive using an Applet.
Now my Applet runs fine under the Plug-in's umbrella, it can read and write to
my Hard drive. But this works only with Netscape 4.x, how about IE4.0. I tried
all the options on IE4.0 but got the same security warnings. What is the exact
difference? This security bypass for accessing hard drive is a permanent feature
for future releases or just a temporary thing. I need to know it right now so
that my applet would be compatible with future releases. I have called Sun two
days ago about the same thing but haven't heard from them. Please respond.

Thanks,

Mubeen Khan
