[Javascript/php]? How Would I Set Up A Function To Launch A File Using The Registry

[gregon13]

I would like to know how i would setup a function to launch an app in my registry on my website, similar to how xfire would launch games?

Here is a modded game from xfire to launch mine:

LongName=Old School GunZ: The Duel
ShortName=Old School Gunz
LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Old School GunZ\DestDir
LauncherExe=GunzLauncher.exe
DetectExe=Gunz.exe
Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
InGameRenderer=D3D9
InGameFlags=USE_PRESENT|ENABLE_MOUSE|USE_DINPUT_MOUSE|DISABLE_RELEASE
ChangeTolerance=6

I think its impossible to have jscript or php for that sake to run a program. But I have an idea.
Make a small application, be sure to have a database there, cause you would make the application check if a value inside the database (you should make a table for it), so when, on the website, something is triggered, it would change the value of a row in the database, and the application, which is looping (maybe an infinite loop?) to check if the value is this or that. If the value is that, it does whatever you want, else it keeps checking.
Just a thought. ^^

You would need ot use javascript and a browser plugin if im not wrong.
other option is

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">  
MyObject = new ActiveXObject( "WScript.Shell" )  
function RunNotePad()   
{  
MyObject.Run("notepad.exe") ;  
}    
</script> 
<button onclick="RunNotePad()">Start Notepad</button>

You might try a aspx script, im ot very familiar with it but it uses the common coding languages C#, VB

Most programs do something in the registery (really, i dont know what) which allows every browser on the computer to do like mything://someshit which launchaes like program.exe myshit

On IE.. use activeX... on Firefox use a plugin.
