title: Running application from web browser
body: <p>I would like to run application, for example Windows Calculator from a website. I consider using browser plugin, Java Web Start, something like agent or any other solution that would work on windows/linux, without much work to do.</p>
  
  <p>Plugin way:
  I saw that it could be done with <strong>NPAPI</strong> but it seems to be dead. I looked also at <strong>FileSystemAPI</strong> but it also seems to be dead. Is there any good API to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Agent way:
  I thought about Java agent that user will install and website would communicate with system through it.</p>
