Running Programs Through Java

I've been playing around with this for about an hour.

Java Code:

Runtime runTime = Runtime.getRuntime();
try {
Process process = runTime.exec("notepad");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
So that works. Notepad will open.

However, I'm trying to get other programs to open. Specifically, this program: C:Octave3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0inoctave-3.2.4.exe...However, using that in place of notepad doesn't work. I'm assuming that there is some sort of system variable that explains why simply typing "notepad" works? As if you type notepad into the run box, notepad will open. Soo does that snippet work by going through some sort of system variables?How would I go about opening other programs, such as the one I referenced above.
