But If I try to start the new applciation from web service then The application is running in processes. I am able to see the application in Task manager processes. I am not able to see the application in front end. I have tried ProcessStart PSExecute  bat files running and their all parameters but nothing happened. I am sure I am missing something but I dont know what exactly it is. Can Any one help me out of this? I would be thank to them Thanks in advance. Balasubramanian Raja

Then there might be some other reason for that i think. Probably if you post some part of your code anyone can help you out. Otherwise it's pretty tough to suggest something.

Dear karthick Thanks for your suggestion. But I have tried that already. It is allowing me to start and see the application from win forms. But if I try this from web service this is just starting the application and noit able to View the application. Thanks Balasubramanian Raja

try using the ShellExecute() API or System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() Refer this link for more info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/53ezey2s.aspx#Y0 try this syntax: Imports System Imports System.Diagnostics Imports System.ComponentModel Namespace MyProcessSample Class MyProcess Sub OpenWithArguments() Process.Start( IExplore.exe  C:\myPath\myFile.htm ) End Sub 'Main End Class 'MyProcess End Namespace 'MyProcessSample
