Harmless Privacy Intrusion Tricks

Ever been to a web site that claimed to be able to grab the contents of your hard drive or a file from your computer such as the buttons appear to do below?

Unfortunately, many are fooled into believing that the above tricks are examples of   information that a web site can gather from their computer. In truth, they are simply browser display commands that send absolutely no information to the site that invokes them, rather they simply display files or folders within the users browser. 

How Does It Work?

Although most of us use our browser exclusively to display or access web pages, it can also be used to display folders or files.

We are all familiar with the prefix command HTTP which instructs our browser to go to an Internet site. However there is a prefix command that instructs our browsers to display folders and files within our browsers as well. Type in the following line within your browser's address entry box:

The prefix command FILE is used to instruct your browser to display files and folders. When you use this command, your browser does not send the information anywhere but rather simply displays the file that you request.
