title: Open local file for direct editing and save from local server
body: <p>I have some file links in my web page in my local server.
  I want when the users click on that link the file will be open then user will modify the file content and save the file(the modified content will be saved to the original file).</p>
  
  <p>As "file" protocol is not supported I have used applet(self signed)  for that  using code</p>
  
  <pre><code>Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File(filePath));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But now every time the browser showing a warning.</p>
  
  <p>Is the any other solution as there are more than 40 users it is not possible to do some manual hack and the file type may varies. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried a </p>
  
  <pre><code>Window registry hack 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it is showing a dialog to associate the file type to a program.</p>
  
  <p>OS: Windows
  Browser: IE/FireFox/Chrome
  File: any type of file</p>
  
  <p>If it is possible by installing a exe/plugin ?</p>
  
  <p>I need one time setup only.</p>
