Hi Yogeshwar,
use one of function of Dynamic data exchange package.
DDE.APP_BEGIN (Command, Mode)

Command = VARCHAR2 : command line for executing a program
Mode = PLS_INTEGER : application window starting mode
1. DDE.APP_MODE_NORMAL - Start application window in normal size.
2.DDE.APP_MODE_MINIMIZED - Start application window in minimized size.
3.DDE.APP_MODE_MAXIMIZED - Start application window in maximized size.

DECLARE
lv_exe PLS_INTEGER;
BEGIN
lv_exe := DDE.App_Begin('C:\editplus\editplus2.exe', DDE.APP_MODE_MINIMIZED);
END;
