Accessing WIndows 8.1 App from browser

HI,

  I have a webpage, when i click on this i want to access PC Settings app on WIndwos 8.1 machine.

Is there any protocol available which can allow me to launch apps? For example ms-app is used to submit data to any of the app, can we launch some app this way?

Thanks

Hi,

There are two ways to launch apps. You can launch apps through file association or through protocol handlers (Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync and Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync)

Let us try the following article to see if these can solve your problem.

Examples and documentation live out on: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.system.launcher.aspx

Also look at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh779672.aspx
