MG SRC=C:\TEST_DIR\THE_IMAGE.jpg
Will only work with extremely low security settings on IE, wont work on mozilla at all, and anyway, standard browser caching will take care of the reloading issues.

Java applets can't access local files either because of the same security issues.

There is no way to limit any application to one physical person. I've got 5 PC's at home. You might be able to limit access to one simultanious run per account, though.

You're still really vague about what your application is doing, why you would need all this "security" in the first place (since you claim it's not a game).

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but your username is not exactly giving me confidence either, so I'll proably not be posting in this thread anymore. All information you'd need for a well-working usable system is in this thread or easily found on CPAN anyway.

    the exact location is C:\Program Files\TEST_DIR and it works with pretty high settings (atleast what mine are and they are pretty tight and it still worked the many times I have changed them on my other pc's) and all the way down to webtv for that matter as I used webtv in a setup I did for this way about 5 years back and it still works with it even since webtv is now msntv

    think what you will on the security settings as nothing in this is shady or not known by the user and if it did come down to the security level on the users browser then, a duh ya they will have to adjust to be able to use what I have been building or NOT use it...
    it all be thier choice and no I will not explain what I am building in my project or what my project is... simple fact is it is my idea to go along with an EXISTING thing I have already with many users

    I dont know where all this thinking I needed 'high security' came into question here... I only asked in a poor manner of what I wanted to do... sorry if many of you are use to reading more into things than what it is.. I was not looking for a hacker forum

    I referenced the game part as that is how http://mobfather.com does it to limit players so please dont tell me it cant be done.. they will be closed lip about how they do it as they are building sitebadge.com
    I have already asked them to get no reply

    sorry if I wasted any of your guys time... I am asking this in a wrong place place I see now

    if my name scares you run a search for evilzz on google

    Thank you all and have a great day !

        I am sorry if I am not asking the question rite... like I posted I did not go to any school for any of this.. I am a self taught fool and that I know already..lol

        I will find a way to make this work one way or another.

        I didnt ask any question about security settings or any of that.. I asked a question poorly and kept recieveing questions back of what I am doing

        I have already said what I need.. how does it go to access a file on a users pc that is already there.. all I seen from that time is questioning me and telling me security settings and all that.. I didnt not ask about that and ya if it had to be security setting changes on the user side then so be it,so what, that is not the problem in this question and all users will do it to be able to use it or they dont makes no difference to me

        lets a say a user makes a dir on thier pc for this application becasue YES they want to use it... basically the same as the setup for the image being on thier pc already... what if it was a .txt file. how or where would I go to find info on how to retrieve/read that file.. I also understand that just maybe this may have to be some kind of exe file but that I would prefer to stay from

        this file may only contain a few lines even.. I just do not know where to get info on how this could be accessed by one of my sites... even if the user have to make the site a trusted site in thier security settings...none of that is in question or wont be done..

        lets say the txt file has a few lines like this that I want my scripts to display from... the changing and adding of the 'my' and the '$' is not in the question.. I already know how to change it to the way I want it..lol I am looking to find how I even get to that file on thier pc to READ it. not post to it or anything else and what it will take to happen or someplace that this kind of question belongs

        FONT_COLOR = BLACK
        BG_COLOR = WHITE

        these are not what the lines will be in the file but its no different than a couple of basics like these 2 above and should be simple to understand being like this..

        for me to type out all that is going to be in this file makes no sense nor to expalin what it going to do.. all I need to know is how to get this info out of the file and what I need for this to work

        Also, please dont take me wrong in my last post, I am not bashing this place or anything like that.. I just wasnt reading anything that was near what I am out to do so I was ending the post is all... forums are good and this place is all good.. I just seen lots of typing to be getting knowhere... yes,a good part of it is in how I asked the thing to start with but that is just me an uneducated perl fool that hates typing words...LOL

        in any regard, I hope everyone has a great day !
        Thanks :)
