Open/close a winform application from ASP.NET

Is there a way to open/close (i.e. start-up/shut-down) a winform application via ASP.NET? I'm sure this reeks of a security violation, but the application of this technique (if it's even possible) would be in a controlled environment.

I assume extra permissions would need to be granted to the web server or the web application, but I'm not sure what the permissions are.

You could use Click Once, it can start via a URL.

We were able to accomplish this using a browser plug-in.

You're asking about how to do this on the client? I don't think there's any way to start a program using JavaScript.

The best (worst?) you could do would be to use an ActiveX control. Otherwise, you should look into SilverLight.
