This would be a security hole, so browsers don't allow it. There are tricks using ActiveX but most modern browsers will have it disabled by default.

Bad idea :

1) On the client side like Ron said it would be a security risk and is not allowed, and also there is no guarantee that the client is Windows.

2) On the server side your website will just consume too much resources (if you are thinking of Office applications) and will not be scalable over a few hundred connections at best.
