I have created html page using dreamweaver software.
I don't get list of properties of localStorage/SessionStorage in developer tools in IE11 browser.
On debugging www.google.com, I get all these properties but not getting on my html page.
Please do the needful.
localStorage won't work with a file:// URL.
You need to view your your Dreamweaver page with an http:// URL.
You could publish the page to a real server. Or you could set up a server on your local computer. Here are a couple of ways that I have used:
Enable IIS on your computer. Control Panel > Turn Windows features on or off > Internet Information Services > World Wide Web Services . Don't enable FTP Server. Then, Computer > Manage > Services and Applications > Internet Information Services > Sites . Then add a site, with Bindings to localhost:81 and Basic Settings to point to the root of your Dreamweaver project. Now you can view your page as http://localhost:81/mypage.html.
Install Microsoft Expression Web (a free alternative to Dreamweaver) and view the page from within Expression Web using its built-in Development Server feature. The software starts up a little webserver in the background, bound to a port on localhost. (FWIW, It even supports PHP.)

Can I do it using JavaScript? If so, how can I do it?

It's not done with JavaScript, but with plain HTML. The way it works is, you create an <a> with an href attribute with a protocol other than the ones a browser usually recognizes - that is, other than http, https, etc.
If the user has installed an application that recognizes the protocol, the browser will try to open that application.
Similarly to Zoom, for IRC links, you can see something like:
Link
If you click on that link, and your machine has software installed that recognizes the irc protocol, that application can be opened directly by clicking on the link (possibly asking you if you want to open it first).
There are lots of different protocols for many different applications. They're quite handy for getting info on a web browser to an application on the user's computer.
For Zoom in particular, there's documentation on how to use its protocols here:

To Support our WEB Page, We will give some setup(exe) to be installed in client machine. While installing Our SETUP, we will set/Create some registry key and values. Whenever Our Web page loads on that machine, we have to verify whether particular setup installed or not. How can i do with Vb/C#
Unless you can use an antiquated version of IE and its ActiveXObject, you can't read the registry from client-side web page code in a browser. Imagine the security concerns if you could.
I had to develop a Chrome Extension for a website i'm working for. I finished developing it just fine. But Chrome automatically turns it off after browser restarts, with following reason:
This extension is not listed in the Chrome Web Store and may have been added without your knowledge.
My question: Is it possible to have a "Trusted" extension without publishing it to the Chrome Web Store. I don't want to publish it because it wouldn't make much sense, because it is for a very restricted number of "corporative" users.
The chrome web store allows you to hide your extension from public listings. It also allows you do inline installation. This would allows users to install the chrome extension in their browser without ever having to leave your website. So it would be hosted in the chrome web store, trusted, but only installable from your own website.
I've developed interactive content for a client ( VR Objects ) using javascript and Flash (if needed) that they now want to distribute to prospective customers via a flash drive. That makes it local content causing security issues especially with IE. Actually there doesn't seem to be much problem with any browser except IE. True, IE displays the "allow blocked content" button but they fear that is too complicated or scary. And on IE11 in Win 8.1 it still may not work.
The development environment I use has a way around that for testing using an "embedded web server" although all that seems to do is produce a localhost address such as http://localhost:60331/wyj-01xn/output/surfacide_flash.html. Paste that in the URL bar of any browser on the same machine and you are good. Try it on another machine and no go. So I gather the port address and whatever the /wyj-01xn/ is about are machine specific. Another possible problem -- it may not work easily with IE11 on Win8.1, but I don't personally have that setup to test.
QUESTION: Is there a way I can produce this same functionality for my client, distributed along with the content on the flash drive, without the need to install some special software (local web server) on each client computer??? The current workaround is to tell customers they should us any browser except IE. Client isn't happy.
You could distribute your webpages along with a portable Nginx server, or wrapped inside a Node-webkit or AppJS package.
My organization already developed iOS and Android apps, and is starting to develop an app for Windows 8. In case it matters, the app is using Phonegap a.k.a. Cordova.
On the existing apps, the user downloads a very "slim" app from the store, containing a minimal HTML page. The user logs into a server, and then script tags are dynamically added pointing to locations on that server. Similar to web apps, scripts are downloaded to the client and then executed.
Windows 8's new security model blocks this behavior. Since the app runs in the local context and the script is on the web, I get the error "An app can’t load remote web content in the local context."
Is there a way to get around this restriction?
I'm open to "creative" suggestions and hacks, up to a point. I've already tried a few things, such as fetching a script with plain XHR calls and then injecting the response to a pre-defined script tag. Windows blocked this and all other attempts.
I also considered rendering everything in an iframe with a "ms-appx-web:" scheme (learned about this scheme here, "Schemas and contexts" section). This might allow me to load remote scripts, but would prevent code from accessing APIs of the locally-running JavaScript code -- Cordova and Windows Runtime. This access is necessary for my app. If there's a way to access Cordova and Windows Runtime from the web context, that might be useful too.
I very much doubt it.
The whole point of the MS Windows Store certification model is that they can test your code for malware/ crashes. If you can change the code on the fly, you could ship a perfectly harmless app, have it certified by MS, and then change it to something dreadful after the user installs it.
