 This page tells you how to set such up. Note that there is also an old method mentioned on the UBB/portal. That one used the FILE:-statement, but for current browser versions this no longer works, neither in Firefox/Mozilla, nor in IE.

Therefore it is by default disabled in your browser, and you are adviced to leave it that way.
