First, why the extra space in Documents and Settings? Second, you may need to insert extra " quotes within the string, around the path+filename. — AjV Jsy

Worked for me after I corrected the path and told IE to "allow blocked content". — rojo

Here is your code formatted properly. Note that your HTML is missing the closing </p> tag and DOCTYPE.

<html>
    <head>
        <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
            MyObject = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell")
            function Runbat()
            {
                MyObject.Run("\"C:\\Documents and Settings\\shraddha\\Desktop\\test.bat\"");
            }
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Run a Program</h1>
        This script launch the file any bat File<p>
        <button onclick="Runbat()">Run bat File</button>
    </body>
</html>

Dear @David Ruhmann , ActiveXObject is available only on IE browser. What is your solution for chrome?

David Ruhmann Over a year ago

Chrome does not have an out of the box solution to executing files on a system due to its sandbox. Doing so, even in IE, is not recommended due to security concerns. There are probably some 3rd party solutions (such as chrome extensions) that can allow this, but off the top of my head there are no native Chrome solutions.
