Is there a way that if I know the IP address of a computer, I can open
a popup window on that IP remotely from another computer?
Hopefully not. That would be a serious security issue.
It is somewhat similar to netsend but the type of window I want to
open is Ineternet Explorer one.
Notice that you don't just want to open a window, you want to run an
application (IE) with an input of your choice. I can think of thousands
of ways to compromise the computer if that is possible.
Whatever you are trying, you need the cooperation of the receiving
computer, and you certainly can't do it in pure Javascript.
It could work if the target computer runs a server that listens for
connections (HTTP connections if you want to do it from Javascript)
and acts on them by, e.g., opening local applications.
