yeah its ok , but how it could be possible that its running with notepad locally but not in asp.net's .htm file
 
Have you considered that maybe it's a security issue where a website is not allowed access to the client's machine?

When you run it locally, it's not a security issue, because you're running a local program locally. But you open up a nasty can of worms allowing strangers remote access to your local hard disk from over the Internet.
