The current diretory at the OS/process level is *not* the same as the
location of the local HTML file.
alert( document.location.pathname );
pathname will be the fully qualified path\filename of the page. From within
IE hosted client script, there is a leading / (e.g.,
/C:\somepath\mypage.htm) so you'll need to strip the leading / off yourself.
Of course, it would be better to do this as an HTA - no security issues and
no leading / on pathname.
This will give you the parent folder path...
alert( fso.GetParentFolderName( document.location.pathname ) );
