B is being used as initiation queue - it takes an init message from the queue manager

This is a bad bad idea 
Essentially you are trying to launch a Gui program (synchronous) from a background process...that is asynchronous... And who will be there to do anything with the GUI in the middle of the night when your process gets triggered? And how will your process work if the user is not logged in?
Think about it. And if you need to launch notepad you need a workflow application... not MQ triggering...

All of that said, you just set the Application Type to the platform that the trigger monitor will run on, and the application ID to the full path to the application binary.

Requirements that i had defined in my message is just for a test and i wanted to know how to use the process definition and trigger in MQ Q's
If i have to specifiy the application id - what would be ? and can i just type the app id asc c:\winnt\system32\notepad.exe or how do i find out the app id for this app ..? |

As jefflowrey said, it's the full path of the application binary.

ideally prefixed with "START", i.e.:
START C:\myApp\myprocess.exe
