If this would be possible, it would be a really serius security problem.

The answer is, you can't. ASP.net code runs on the server and therefore has little to no bearing on the client. Javascript IS a client-side technology, but it runs in a browser sandbox which allows no access to the local machine other than cookies and maybe a few offline storage features in HTML5.

There might be browser vulnerabilities that you can exploit to achieve what you want to do, but a) it's naughty and b) you can't rely on vulnerabilities to hang around forever - they will eventually get fixed.
