access winapi on local client

[Ibana]

Hi, I have a asp.net/C# webapplication (obviously running on a webserver) that needs to access the winapi of the local machine using the webapp. I want to shutdown a local software on the client from the the browser running the webapp. Should I build a small app that uses the findwindow sendmessage etc and lanuch it from the webapp. Or how could I access the winapi of the local machine ? many thanks, Ibana

Sounds just like what a virus author would want... "come to my web site, and have your virus protection automatically shut off..."

but not really... I want to shutdown admin tool A if the user wants to use start tool B from the webapp.
