You have to Use a NameSpace System.Diagnostics.Process
and then Just write one line of code :
Process.Start("Notepad.exe");

Solution 5

Above all ways are correct, but if you want more control on process you have launch, then use this.

Process process = new Process();

process.StartInfo.FileName   = "notepad.exe";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "ProcessStart.cs";

process.Start();
