I made a test on Windows, and it is working.
notepad.exe is located in the Windows folder, so first, you better check if notepad.exe is existing in your Windows folder.
If it exists, which it normally does, then you could try enter the full path in the Python script like...
"C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe"

ali ,
on an up-to-date windows environment there are some restrictions (by default) to run code like this (executing applications) in vscode.
ensure you have permission to run applications like notepad, as some environments restrict program execution.
you could modity the settings for this behaviour, but it is not recommended since harmful `exe` files could create security issues.

You are trying to run NOTEPAD.EXE. The error message is telling you this is not a valid command.
Are you running this python script on your Windows PC?
If not, then that's the problem. Notepad.exe does not exist on a Mac, on a phone, or in the SoloLearn Code editor.
It only exists in Microsoft Windows.

If you are running this script on Windows, it should work. The only reason I can think of that it does not work is if Notepad is not in your path. But notepad should be in your path, so that's interesting.
If you go to a CMD shell prompt, type NOTEPAD, does that work?
Can you try to run other commands?
The key issue here is the error message. It is saying notepad is not found. I've tested your code on my machine and it works fine.
Try this:
import os
os.system("echo 'Hello World!'")
You should see "Hello World!" in your console.

The error message indicates that your operating system cannot locate notepad.exe. This could be due to a few reasons:
1. Operating System: You might not be using Windows. notepad.exe is specific to Windows, so this command won’t work on other operating systems like Linux or macOS.
2. Environment Path: If you're on Windows, the system might not have notepad.exe in its environment path. Usually, notepad.exe is located in C:\Windows\System32, which should be in the Windows PATH by default.
To troubleshoot:
1. Verify OS: Make sure you're on a Windows operating system.
2. Specify Full Path: Try using the full path to notepad.exe:
import os
os.system("C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe")
3. Check Path Variable: Ensure C:\Windows\System32 is in your system’s PATH environment variable.

Naeem Ali Saleh Hassan Hamlah Are notepad.exe also presented in two folders on your Windows version, or is only presented in system32 on your Windows version?
I have the .exe-file in both folders.

If you're seeing an error, it could be due to a variety of reasons. Let's troubleshoot step-by-step:
1. Check Console for Errors:
Open your browser's developer tools (press F12 or right-click and select "Inspect" > "Console") to see if there are any specific JavaScript or HTML errors logged there.
2. JavaScript Not Working:
Make sure your <script> tag is correctly placed. In the example, the JavaScript code is placed at the bottom of the <body>, which is generally safe as it runs after the HTML elements are loaded.
Verify that the elements with IDs ("start" and "exit") exist in the HTML and are correctly referenced in the JavaScript.
3. HTML Tag Issues:
Ensure that all opening tags have corresponding closing tags.
Check that the <!DOCTYPE html>, <html>, <head>, and <body> tags are correctly placed and formatted.
4. Image Loading:
If you’re getting a 404 error for images, check the URLs to confirm they’re correct and accessible.
If an image doesn’t load, this can sometimes cause errors dependi
