Executable

On an aspx page the user has the ability to view and if desired, download an
image (.jpg). I would like to place a button on the aspx page that opens
Adobe PhotoShop (if present) on the users computer and pass a command line
argument to open the specific image. The user can then manipulate the image
as they see fit. I have been told that it is not possible to place a button
on the aspx page that opens an executable on the users computer. Is this
correct.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

You can download the image to their desktop. Then the user can double-click
on the image, and their default editing tool will load it and run.

You are correct. If you were allowed to execute arbitrary programs from
Client-side code in a browser, you'd be able to do some very nasty things to
people's computers - that were looking at your web page.
