Why must the control be within an HTML page? Within the browser you are
in a sandbox, and unless you write a small stub exe to do some
configuration locally (while running under full trust) and have the end
users decide to execute your stub, you won't be able to accomplish what
you are looking for.
This is a good thing, to protect users from malicious code. You need to
be in a zone where your software is given full trust, and that is not
within the browser.
