Execute command line commands from web (not NPAPI)

Chrome stopped support for NPAPI. We are using plug-ins that used NPAPI to run cmd commands from web browser but now its not working on chrome.

I want to know if there are any alternatives to NPAPI for opening windows cmd or communicating with windows file system from client browser.

First, this is a really bad idea. A really bad idea. I really hope you mean that it was used to execute very specific applications, and not just arbitrary commands.

Second, FireBreath2 is in the works (firebreath's refactor branch) and uses native messaging on chrome to allow things similar to what many plugins did, including this application. Please don't use it to do bad things.
