Thanks Doug, I got it fixed. That link that you provided did not have my answer, but did provide the clue that I needed to figure it out. Apparently, the sequence of copying your hta to my system and saving in my filesystem allowed the XP SP2 security features to identify it as foreign. It then got flagged in the filesystem as " This file came from another computer and might be blocked...etc..." Which I coudl see through explorer.

Being so flagged, IE would not let the client-running script have access to any of my local resources, because it could have been some virus, trojan or worm, injected into my browser client to exploit my local account rights to infect my system.

All I had to do was to clear that flag on the HTA file and it worked fine.
