Script Idea but not sure if possible

[krymsunmortis]

Ok I have a couple of Ideas but I am not sure if they are even possible and if they are how to go about starting these cuz I am just now learning how to do JS so no I am not a programmer how ever I can useually take a script and read it and know where to make mods to do what I want and have searched to try this but have yet to find any script that I can do this too. So If there are any people out there more knowledgeable about this kind of stuff and has more of a clue than I do on how to do it or just loves writting new scripts that are challengeing GREAT if not guess I will have to keep waiting till I do figure it out.
Ok here are my Ideas:
1) I want to come up with a script in either JS CGI/PERL or PHP or heck even
VB it put on a site. Ok first off this is the short of what I want. I need
to know how to get a script that is on a web page to access and run an
executable file(example : reset.exe or shutdown.exe) on the visitors
webpage. Reason for: lot of web pages out there with passwords still get
broke into due to brute force attacks or password attack programms. What I
am wanting to do is put a predetermined amount of tries and if they reach
that many tries then they will be redirected to another page that tells them
they got caught and then it activates the chosen program and BOOM their
machinereboots or shutsdown depending on which exe is used. Results: Brute
force attacks stopped.

2) I have seen alot of neat web pages with cool backgrounds and effect but
have never seen one that customizes itself to the veiwer. IDEA: to have a
script that will search the viewers hard drive so namely the My Pictures
folder and display pictures from the viewers own harddrive. I have seen some
scripts where the background fades or changes to different colors or
backgrounds but those are already on the server with the webpage. Result :
each visitor would feel more like the page was designed just for them. An
hopefully more hits due to results.

for #1

The only way I can think of would be on the server end, logging IP addresses and after a few failures they get put on a banned list, but this is a horrible solution.

for #2

If you could do it, Microsoft would have a new windows update out in a few months to block it. We don't want webpages to get out of the browser "box".....

Yeah I had some one email me and tell me this is also a security violation and MS and any other OS would patch it as soon as it happened. Never thought of it being a security breech that way. Oh well willl keep thinking of other ideasthen.
