Is there a way to execute another program, such as notepad, as a thread so it shares the same memory space as my program? So if my program ends, so will notepad and so that notepad won’t show up in task manager, just my program?

No, certainly not for a non-managed app like notepad.
For a managed app, however, you can load the assembly using the utilities in
System.Reflectionand begin execution of theMain()method (or, rather entrypoint).However, there are a few features in the
System.Processclass that can help you emulate what you are looking to do.
