title: How do I perform a shell execute in a chrome extension?
body: <p>I'm not finding a way to do this in the chrome.* API or even the experimental. It doesn't run through wscript so 
  <code>ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")</code> isn't allowed.</p>
  
  <p>I fear that my only option is to build a dll with NPAPI but I wanted to see if there was a simpler way.</p>
