launching gui app from asp.net

I am launching a program with a GUI from asp.net, but aparently the aspnet
user doesnt use the same screen as my logged in user, how can I make the
program I launch appear on the monitor?
I realize this is a "bad" design but that its part of the heart of the
product.

You can't do it from ASP.NET. ASP.NET runs on the server. In order to
get a program to run on the client side, you need to have permission to do
it. You will either have to install a plug-in or active x control of some
kind, or you can install a .NET control. Either way, you have to get
explicit permission from the user to be able to run a process from the
browser.

Hope this helps.
