Here is my code

XML

<script type="text/javascript" lang="javascript">
            function TestRun() {
                var RunFile = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
                RunFile.ShellExecute("c:/windows/system32/notepad.exe", 1, false);
            }
    </script>

<input id="btnScan" type="button" value="Scan" onclick="TestRun();" />

Thanks in advance

No.
Why not? Because if you could do it, so could malicious sites. And that's why ActiveX now defaults to OFF and nobody installs them - because they were used for malicious purposes.

You want to run NotePad: that guy over there wants to run FDISK...
