Launching an application with the currently logged in user

Question

I'm using C#.NET VS2005. I'm launching an application(app1) with the admin user during system start up. From that application I want to run an another application(app2). App2 will always work only when it is run by the currently logged in user. I used the Process class and set the ProcessStartInfo to set all the user details but it requires that I have to hard code all the user name password which I don't want to do because in the password can be different for different user. Please help me how can I accomplish the same.

Check it out u need to use SecureString to provide password and U can get Current Username from Environment.Username private void button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { string CurrentUser = Environment.UserName; string Password = Kirtan12345; System.Security.SecureString pass = new SecureString(); foreach (char c in Password) { pass.AppendChar(c); } Process p = new Process(); p.StartInfo.FileName = NotePad.exe; p.StartInfo.UserName = CurrentUser; p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; p.StartInfo.Password = pass; p.Start(); } Happy Coding :)
