How to create new folder on desktop using Javascript?

How to create a new folder on desktop by using JavaScript after a button is clicked?

My Scenario :

I want to create a button that user can click.

When user click on the button, a folder will be created on the user's desktop.

Here is the code (that I have found after a several research) that I use to try to do the scenario above.

<html>
<body>
 <script>
 function create() 
 var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
 fso.CreateFolder("C:\Temp\myFolder");
 fso = null;
 
 </script>
 Create Folder: "c:newfolder"
 <form name="myForm">
 <input type="Button" value="Click to Create New Folder" onClick="create()">
 </form>
</body>
</html>

This is intentionally not possible with javascript running in the browser - see stackoverflow.com/a/372333/1136527

ActiveX is IE only and modern day IE basically disables it.... so not going to happen. If you are building an application for you to run, you can build yourself a node app that does this.

with javascript alone this move will create a security problem and I don't think it's possible to do. But on server side with some tool like Node.js you can by doing something like:

var fs = require("fs");
fs.mkdir("<your path>",callback);

manipulating client file with your js code often create security issues
