How to run an executable from a web page?

I mean, when a user clicks a button on a web page, a program that is already installed on his computer will be executed. I also need to pass some command line options to the program.

As already mentioned, since SP2, I believe this is not possible, because it is a huge security issue.

However, for our intranet, our company needed to create a list of links that ran all kinds of applications. I wrote an applet that processes these "special links" and allows you to run executable files or open folders, etc. Since all this is under our control, we are considering a security issue that can be ignored.
