Read <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_Application>.

A Web application should not be able to read/write the local filesystem
without explicit permission; but running an HTA in MSIE might be
considered as giving such permission.

See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox_(computer_security)> and
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox_(software_development)>.

Look at <http://wsh2.uw.hu/index.html> ff., as it might be useful to
you, some day.
