C#: Load roaming profile and execute program as user
-

Question
In an application I need to execute other programs with another user's credentials. Currently I use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start to execute the program:
public static Process Start(
string fileName,
string arguments,
string userName,
SecureString password,
string domain
)
However this function does not load the roaming profile from the net - which is required.
I could use "runas /profile ..." to load the profile and execute the command, but that would ask for a password. There must be an more elegant way...
But where?
OTHER TIPS
My solution (based on leppie's hint):
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = textFilename.Text;
p.StartInfo.Arguments = textArgument.Text;
p.StartInfo.UserName = textUsername.Text;
p.StartInfo.Domain = textDomain.Text;
p.StartInfo.Password = securePassword.SecureText;
p.StartInfo.LoadUserProfile = true;
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
try {
p.Start();
} catch (Win32Exception ex) {
MessageBox.Show("Error:\r\n" + ex.Message);
}
