Accessing local machine from web page

[pstsp911]

Is it possible to access local machine form webpage without IE/ActiveX? For example, can I execute an exe file on a local machine? Or, If viewer's machine hosts a webservice, can i invoke it through webpage?

Don't cross post. Pick a forum and ask your question.

Not directly, no. Unless you use a hideously insecure web browser that is wide open to exploits.

If it were, lots of harddisks would have been formatted from there.
