Jscript or javascript are designed to stay inside the browser. They cannot write to the clipboard nor to the hard drive. If they could, viruses would be easy. You will have to write a .dll in VB, C# or a program in java to do what you want to do. When you write in VB or C,C++,C# you limit your program to run only on that hardware you wrote the software on. Check the link below, there was an article about file i/o with javascript, and a .dll.
