No.
Being able to execute a DOS command would allow one to break the applet security model, which is a no-no. What would stop you from running the following batch file?
@echo off
c:
deltree c:\windows\*.* < y
pause

Hi Apu
Thanks for your reply. Ok one more question? How to calculate the Bandwidth thru Java?

Humm, I'm just thinking how would I calculate bandwidth in any language. Bandwidth is basically how fast you can send and recieve data. Knowing that, one could write a program to acquire a file of known size from a remote location. Keep track of how long it took. Then divide the size of your file by the time it took and you should have a primitive bandwidth measurement. I took a look at some of the socket and url objects, but they don't seem to have any bandwidth methods.
Sorry.
