Ihab Make sure that ASPNET account (WINDOWS 2000/XP) has right permission on the folder containing the exe file you want to execute and the location of the file you want to open. But i'm not sure what you are trying to do in your case. Give me more details to help you more.

I have similar problem to run application on server side

and i solved it like this:

1. change local policies for APSNET user:

in WinXP: run secpol.msc

go to Local Policies->User Rights Assignment

find "Deny log on locally" and remove ASPNET user from it.

then find "Deny logon locally" and remove ASPNET user from it.

after that this code  will work

ProcessStartInfo processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();

      processStartInfo.FileName = @"c:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe";

      processStartInfo.Arguments = @"c:\test.txt";

      Process.Start(processStartInfo);

then find "Deny logon locally" and remove ASPNET user from it.

2. Security for files.

if your application needs also to work with files (open, save, etc) you have to change security settings for the folders to allow user ASPNET modify nedeed files.

to do this:

- In Explorer right button mouse click the folder and select "Properties"

- In Security tab, add "ASPNET" in and give desired permissions (Read, Write, Execute, etc).
