  11.         
  12. Runtime runTime = Runtime.getRuntime();
  13. System.out.println("Opening notepad");
  14. Process process = runTime.exec("notepad");
  15.           
  16. try {
  17.  
  18.  
  19. Thread.sleep(200); 

  20.  process.destroy();

  26.  System.out.println(ex);
  27.  
  28. }  
  29.  
  30. }
  31.  
  32. }

  • We can open already existing notepad also for that we need to specify notepad.exe location and path of the destination file.
  • We need to pass these two parameters  to exec method of runtime class.
  • runTime.exec("C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe E:\\Samplenotepad.txt");
