The following code works, but notepad opens in a full-sized window. Is there an expression I could add to have notepad open in a 'normal' sized window (or minimized for that matter)?

function notepad() {
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
shell.run("NOTEPAD.EXE ATL-TECHMANPUBsvcfiles.txt",3);

Found it:

Run Method
Creates a new process that executes strCommand.

object.Run (strCommand, [intWindowStyle], [bWaitOnReturn])

Arguments
object

WshShell object.

strCommand

Environment variables within the strCommand parameter are automatically expanded.

intWindowStyle

Optional. Sets the window style of the program being run.

bWaitOnReturn

Optional. If bWaitOnReturn is not specified or FALSE, immediately returns to script execution rather than waiting for the process to end.

If bWaitOnReturn is set to TRUE, the Run method returns any error code returned by the application.

If bWaitOnReturn is not specified or is FALSE, the Run method returns an error code of 0 (zero).

Remarks
The following table lists the available settings for intWindowStyle:

intWindowStyle Description
0 Hides the window and activates another window.
1 Activates and displays a window. If the window is minimized or maximized, the system restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this flag when displaying the window for the first time.
2 Activates the window and displays it as a minimized window.
3 Activates the window and displays it as a maximized window.
4 Displays a window in its most recent size and position. The active window remains active.
5 Activates the window and displays it in its current size and position.
6 Minimizes the specified window and activates the next top-level window in the Z order.
7 Displays the window as a minimized window. The active window remains active.
8 Displays the window in its current state. The active window remains active.
9 Activates and displays the window. If the window is minimized or maximized, the system restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this flag when restoring a minimized window.
10 Sets the show state based on the state of the program that started the application.


Example
The following example runs Microsoft Notepad and opens the currently running script:

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run ("%windir%notepad" & WScript.ScriptFullName)
The following example returns the error code from the executed application:

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Return = WshShell.Run("notepad " & WScript.ScriptFullName, 1, TRUE)
