Krystian - 

if you're applet is java 2 (uses the plugin) then you can gain rights to
access the harddrive via the security profile files (java.profile,
.java.profile, ...)  the down side to this is that as far as i know
there is no way for the user to dynamically grant permissions to
applets.  if the applet does not require the plugin then the best bet is
to sign your applet and request permissions from the user - the pain
with this is that the way it is done under netscape and microsoft is
diffent.  MSIE uses signed cab files where are NS uses signed jar
files.  there is a book - "Java 2 network security" (ISBN 0-13-015592-6)
- that i found to be a useful reference.
