C# ActiveX to call local program
I am trying to figure out how to write an ActiveX control in C# to call a local program, lets call it Program1. I want to pass a XML files through the server to the client and load that XML file into Program1. Most of the stuff I have found online is about how to write a user control in a webpage, I am trying to actually pass a file to the client's machine and execute Program1 with the XML file.

The only document that seems to work is
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/dsandor/ActiveXInNet11102005040748AM/ActiveXInNet.aspx
But when I try putting in System.Diagnostics.Process .Start("C: \\somethin g.txt") it will not display the text file and says "Request Failed"
I have attached what my IE -> advanced settings are. In the picture, the last couple are all checked.
