You're not supposed to be able to change settings in your visitors computer. Working as designed. Of course, I could write a Web browser that would let you. But noone would (hopefully) use my browser if so designed.

Why?
OK, so you're a nice guy. You wouldn't try to change any settings in my computer unless I explicitly agree to it while visiting your site. Fine. But the next site I visit might have an evil Webmaster. Changing all sorts of settings in my computer, without asking me first. OK, so I could clean up and decide to never visit the evil site again.

Now, imagine that it's my Mother visiting that evil guys site. She'd never be able to reset things as they were. She'd have to bring her PC to the shop "to get it repaired".

I hope you get the point. You're nice, but not everyone is as kind as you are.
