I don't think its what you're looking for, but to do it in a webpage I'd just use something like:

<iframe src="c:\" width="100%" height="350" ></iframe>

Any help?

Any time I've seen it done it's been using Mixie's method above.

Usually underneath a big banner declaring "WE CAN SEE YOUR HARD DRIVE. PURCHASE THIS CRAPPY SOFTWARE FROM US SO YOUR BOSS CAN'T SEE YOUR er, whatever"

AFAIK it is just an iframe but the page was called .jpg instead of .html to trick you.
