Far from ideal but ...

If you serve up a ".hta" file (HTml Application) from your web server, Windows will run it as a program outside of IE and give it the privileges of the PC user. It will be in a separate window and there won't be any browser features (Back/Refresh/Address bar etc).

Even then, modern versions of Windows will prompt the user with security warnings if a HTA is launched from anywhere other than a local drive.
