Run exe from Html - using custom URL Protocol

I want to launch a local exe-file (without saving it to another location first) upon clicking on a link on a local html file.

It either needs to work in IE, Firefox Chrome or Opera I don't care. It's just for a presentation tomorrow

Introduction

Sometimes there is a business need of integrating you windows application with your web application in a manner that you can directly invoke your windows application from the web application with custom parameters.

e.g. in yahoo, you can directly open the message windows of a user from web site by clicking on Send IM

?? file://PATH/TO/THE/LOCAL/EXE.exe ??
just make the html file, and when you're putting a hyperlink in there make the url the path to the file.
