Can HTML open a program on your system?

Im trying to make a webpage (which will sit on a PC, not on the net) which has step by step instructions for various tasks.... virus and spyware removal, stuff like that.

I want to have a line saying

Click Here to open Spybot.

But what code should I use for the "Here" hyperlink?
I tried using file:/// but I dont get the usual "open with" or "save here" option.
The "open with" probably wouldnt work anyway but I at least had to try it!

Many Thanks
