    When you call the Start method on the Process class, it runs on the
server, so you now have an instance of notepad running on the server.

    If you want this to run on the client, you will have to install an
ActiveX control, or a .NET control (with the appropriate security rights)
and then spawn the process from that. These controls will run in the client
context, and allow you to run programs on that.

    Hope this helps.
