JavaScript in the browser cannot manipulate files on the client's hard drive (except for cookies, if you really want to count those).

If there is ever an instance where the above is not true, something is seriously wrong and there exists a major security hole.

Well, you can run JavaScript directly on the machine (not in the browser).
