Do you mean that your code behind code opened Notepad or a PDF file okay when you were testing on your local machine, but when you deploy the site to a remote webserver you no longer see Notepad or the PDF viewer?

If so, then I am not surprised.

Presumably, you are using Process.Start to open the file?

That will open the file on the server: not the user machine. (and probably annoy the heck out of teh webserver admin.)

You cannot run programs on a user machine from the server: that is called "probably virus activity" and rightly blocked.

Make sure the paths to these files are correct. Use relative URLS.
