Nothing important or fancy, I am creating a demo jpeg in SQL Server and don't want to take the extra step of having to launch mspaint directly after running my script in order to see it. It would be nice if the script could just do the launching for me.
I have seen a number of posts on this subject and it looks like xp_cmdshell won't work for a UI-based app. Does anybody know of any way within a simple T-SQL script to launch notepad or mspaint or any other UI-based app without having to resort to SSIS or ServiceBroker? TIA
