HELP: Running DOS Commands from a Webpage

Is anyone aware of any methods to run (execute) simple DOS commands from a webpage? 

For example, if you click on this Google.com link, the “background” code will open up a browser page of Google's homepage...

I would like to be able to do the same with basic DOS commands. I would prefer not to have to rely on downloads, execs, multi-line batch files, complicated wscripts, etc.   For example, I would like to execute the "ncpa.cpl" command (e.g., "start ncpa.cpl") by just clicking on the html "link". 

I am sure there is a relatively simple solution, but I am beginning to feel like I am wondering 'round in a forest, looking for bread crumbs...  Any takers?  Any thoughts? Any aspirin?

Thanks in advance.

You could be right - "simply" being the key word...  If need be, I may need to look at the next stp up - "simple" and robust coding.   I have run multiple commands via a single command line before, but it has been awhile..
