Are there alternatives for ActiveX in Microsoft Edge?

Question

Microsoft has announced the Edge browser, which does not support ActiveX.

I have an application that needs to get information from the Windows registry, so I have some questions about ActiveX alternatives:

• Is there a way to communicate with a native application (which can read from the Windows registry) with Edge or with something similar (for example, built-in messaging in Chrome)?

• Is there a way to directly access the Windows registry from Edge, Javascript, or the like?
