Hi Gary,
The following script has worked for me from IE 5 through IE 7:
<script language=JScript>
function mkdir(str)
{var wshshell = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');
wshshell.Run('cmd /c md "'+str+'"', 1, true);}
</script>
<a HREF=JavaScript:mkdir('\\test')>Make Directory</a>
The JavaScript, JScript, or wsh sandboxes do not generally provide access to
the underlying operating system if they are called from a browser. So the
trick here is to call them from a browser, but not allow the sandbox to know it
was called from a browser.
This works because IE executes JavaScript, which calls JScript, and in turn
calls wsh, using the ActiveXObject method. Wsh is unable to tell it was
ultimately initiated by IE, so it makes an assumption that it must have been
called by the operating system, as JScript was the last thing to touch it.
This provides the script the needed access to the operating system from the wsh
sandbox.
Depending on the versions of IE, the installed patches, and a given user's
settings within IE, they may receive a prompt as to whether they want to allow
a control to run. If they do, they can click OK. It is possible to disable
this prompt by adding the Mid-Tier server to the user's Trusted Sites.

Subject: Re: Mid-Tier and run process
I suggest you find another way to do whatever it is you are trying to do.
I've visited websites that downloaded files and created folders on my
pc, it was through an browser vulnerability and it typically installs
a trojan or virus.
If you really need to do this, look into writing an active x control
(preferably signed) that you can somehow embed in your remedy form if
accessed from the mid-tier:
