How to list files from user desktop or any drive in browser

You want to display a list of the files on a user's desktop, on a webpage? You can't do this, at least not without some kind of external plugin.

Two reasons for this:
1. it's invasive and a security issue to grant webpages you go to access to information about your computer's filesystem, it was decided long ago that web browsers would not support this kind of functionality.
2. even if this weren't the case, you have no way of telling what kind of OS the person is using, they might not even have a 'desktop', what if they are using an iPhone to access your site?

You're really talking about creating a hybrid desktop / browser application, I'd look into technologies like adobe flex or google gears.
