Answer 1

I don't think its possible due to security reasons. Javascript are downloaded on the client side and you don't want someones javascript code accessing your registry right?

Answer 2

No can do, unless you have a client-side browser plugin. Even then, you need two separate plugins - one for IE and one for the Netscape family browser. That would require admin install. And would work for Windows clients only; there's no registry on Mac, iPhone, Android and Unix/Linux.
