How is your Zope running? If it is running as a system service it has 
nothing to do with the current logged on user that has a desktop open. So 
Windows will not show notepad on the desktop... 
The question is: what is the problem you are trying to solve with this? 
Why should the webserver open a notepad? Try playing with a commandline 
program that does something usefull but does not need interaction (a batch 
file or something like that)
