I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Do you mean automatically opening certain files with an app (file association) or launching an app through code that will open a file?
The code you posted above: in the case of Notepad, this will work, but programs may vary in the way they treat arguments passed to them on load.

To open Notepad++ and load a file you can do this
Code: Select allProcess.Start("notepad++.exe", "FULL FILE PATH HERE")
Just tested it and it works fine.
