Example:
!notepad C:\Program Files\MyFolder\textFile.txt
Just replace that path with your own.

The way you call uigetfile is wrong
[FileName,PathName] = uigetfile('*.sin','Select the .sin-file')
eval(['!notepad ' PathName FileName])

And another way for those who hate the eval function
system(['notepad ' PathName FileName])

[FileName,PathName] = uigetfile('*.sin','Select the .sin-file')
if ischar(FileName)
%disp('file selected')
eval(['!notepad ' PathName FileName])
else
%disp('user canceled')
end
