You're trying to open txt file, no wonder it doesn't do what you want

This is what you want:
Qt Code:
  1. QProcess* prc = new QProcess(this);
  2. prc->start( "C:\\Windows\\system32\\notepad.exe" );
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

As to linking button from your app to button inside Blender app, AFAIK it's impossible.

ps. use [code] tags.
