Why do you want this? The users of your asp.net application are going to be
sitting at their desk accessing your site. So this would not apply to them.

 If the person logged into the server needs notepad, why are they browsing
to a site located on the same machine, instead of just running an executable
locally that can launch appropriate programs?
