Replace Current Windows User Running the EXE with another user

Question

Say if I built a windows application that reads files from a network folder. The network folds restrict the access to only one user \"fooUser\". The application is installed

Answer 1

You could just set up a mapped drive to the folder share that uses the 'fooUser' credentials.

Though if you have the login/password for the user you can get your code to use impersonation. As per my answer to Windows Impersonation from C# :

For the Impersonation code see the following two Code Project articles:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/zetaimpersonator.aspx

and the Microsoft KB article they are based upon:
