Whenever you run that code from client side the server is opening a notepad instance...
so your code is working but it is probably not doing what you would like it to do...
If you would like to open Notepad on the client then you can't do it that easily... there is no chance you start a process on client-side without running a custom activeX and then you will have to cope with all sort of security aspects and cross-browsers incompatibility...

question : if your code was technically realistic how should it behave on a client equipped with Linux or Mac OS? They have no "C:\Windows\notepad.exe"

I understood it is not notepad you want to launch in the end and you just use that as an example. That is the same for my answer... Replace Notepad with CutomExe and the answer remains exactly the same.

Maybe your design could be changed to an alternative solution...
it is much more common practice to see rich client applications (winforms, wpf, gtk, ...) embedding a browser control rahter than trying to perform rich client things inside the browser (this ususally leads to too many incompatibilities and security issues).
