Hi,

in this code:
system.diagnostics.process.start("notepad.exe c:\test.txt")

I think that you want to open c:\test.txt in notepad.exe.

process.start has a constructor thru which you can pass arguments
to starting process.

try this:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("notepad.exe", "c:\test.txt")

Hope this helps,
