Icon drop

I was wondering if there is any technique available in PHP, JS, Perl or whatever that allows you to click a button on a webform to drop an icon onto their desktop.
Any help appreciated!

Well I had a look about and noticed the VBScript could possibly do the job. Im sure that the desktop icon details are stored in the registry and I know how to enter registry keys using VBScript. I was wondering if anyone knew where the registry key for the desktop was located or wherever the desktop details are stored?
Thanks

uh... generally VBscript won't be able to access the desktop from the browser.. last I checked. It would have to run independant of the browser.. and that is very dangerous.
