If your application can run correctly in the Windows Explorer, it could be a dependency related issue. That is, your executable depends on some DLL(s) which is not located at the working directory, current directory and other directories specified in the "PATH" environment variable. 
 
BTW, when you post code in the forum, please use the "SRC" feature of the editor. This time i did it for you :)
 
"C:\\Program Files\AUTOTRADER\\projects\\WindowsApplication100\\WindowsApplication100\\bin\\Debug\\"

Bad path. You have no directory "Program FilesAUTOTRADER" under C:\

It runs notepad because that is in your PATH variable.
