Is it possible to access local file system in Silverlight Application.

I know there could be restriction for Silverlight application to access local file system and resources. Is it possible for a browser based silver light application made full trustable at client local machine by doing some settings in client machine?

No. In order to access the client-side file system, the app has to be run "out-of-browser", and even then, you're restricted to saving/retrieving files in a special folder. EDIT ================ Why was this 1-voted? It's the correct answer.

No If you rephrase that as can I make some settings on my local machine that will allow a browser based application to do anyhting to my hard drive and therefore take over my machine. You can make a file open/save operation only and only if it is initiated by the user. Oh and it must be the first operation after the event is raised!
