I think that the issue is that the file is on your local computer, and IE is denying access because if it let scripts have access to files on the comp that the browser is running on, that would be a HUGE security hole.
If you have access to a server or another comp that you could use as one, maybe you could try putting the files on the that, and then running the scripts as you would from a website.
