How can i open notepad file from another computer using webservice ?

Locally the webservice is running fine and when invoke it opens the notepad file,but when the webservice is deployed in server the notepad file does not get opened.

Code :

 //Process
 [WebMethod]
 [ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
  public void notepadopen()
  {

   Process.Start("F:\\log.txt");
  }

Note : Also tried 

Process.Start(@"\\192.168.1.8\f\log.txt");

I have already done several methods , some reference SO posts :

    I'm unclear on what you're trying to achieve here. If, ultimately, you succeed in running another program, it will be running *on the server* and it will not be visible/usable for any user who happens to be logged on to the server (via e.g. Remote Desktop). Is that really what you're aiming for? – Damien_The_Unbeliever Feb 12 '16 at 07:15

    When you use the ASP development server, it's running as *you*, interactively, rather than as a service. Also, your machine is acting in both the roles of a *client* (because you're using a browser) *and* as a server (because you're running the server). That's a *very* different environment to when running under IIS. – Damien_The_Unbeliever Feb 12 '16 at 08:09
  • thank you @Damien_The_Unbeliever for your time..is there anything to try the same so that i can get the result ? – Tharif Feb 12 '16 at 08:11
