>PS. What do you think about those ActiveX who are able to launch an executable ?

I think it's a bad idea because the user has to first approve this and it can be locked out through admin policy.

Generally I feel ActiveX should be avoided in the browser unless it's absolutely necessary. The problem is that a control that can execute code is a potentially major security problem in the browser because it can be scripted...

But there won't be any other way to launch an executable without dialog otherwise.
