Hello sgsamanthjain. Welcome to the Java Programming Forums.
In future, please make sure you post in the correct forum. I have moved this thread to - Java Theory & Questions

You can open Notepad and other applications like this:

Code Java:

---

import java.io.IOException;
 
public class OpenApplication {
 
	/**
	 * JavaProgrammingForums.com
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
 
		// Opens Notepad
		Process p1 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad");
 
		// Opens Windows Calculator
		Process p2 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\calc.exe");
 
	}
}
