title: How to write an NPAPI plugin with functionality of WScript.Shell
body: <p>I am very new to Web development, and have been writing some javascript that makes use of WScript.Shell via ActiveX. I am aware that browsers other than IE don't support ActiveX though. </p>
  
  <p>After doing some digging through Google, I have discovered that I may be able to do something similar on all web kit based browsers via NPAPI. I have no idea where to even begin when it comes to this though. Is it possible to do what I am after via NPAPI? If so, where would I begin?</p>
