Security stops you for knowing anything about the filing system of the client computer - it may not even have one! It could be a MAC, a PC, a Tablet or an internet enabled fridge - you don't know, can't know and won't know. And letting you have the full path could give you some information about the client - particularly if it is a network drive for example. In fact you can get it under particular conditions, but it requires an ActiveX control, and will not work in 99.99% of circumstances.
