Could you clarify this a bit?
Do you want the user to select a file and then open the corresponding program to edit this file?

eg: file.ppt -> open powerpoint, file.xls -> opens excel ?

What do you mean by not writing in browser?

Look up System.Diagnostics.Process.Start.

It will do what you need:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. //c#
  2. string path = @"C:\path\toFile.doc";
  3. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(path);
  4.  
That behaves just like double clicking on that file.
