Solution

  • You can create an event listener and launch your vbs file when notepad starts:

    Register-WmiEvent -Class Win32_ProcessStartTrace -SourceIdentifier ProcessStart -Action {

    $proc = $event.SourceEventArgs.NewEvent

    if($proc.ProcessName -eq 'notepad.exe')
    {
        wscript "C:\test.vbs"
    }

}
