C# Start Program with different user credentials

Question

_{Thursday, May 29, 2008 1:01 AM}

Hi,

I am writing a quick application that accesses files on a server that only a particular process ID has access to. Is there a simple way to run a program using different user credentials?

Edit:

This needs to be included in the code

Thank you for the response!

Is there anyway to make the whole application run with these credentials?

If not, I'll find a way to make the above response work.
