You ( as a process) can impersonate a different user but I don't understand what you mean by "implementing a shell".

Is it possible to implement a shell using a different set of credentials than the current users'?Perhaps, CreateProcessAsUser (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dllproc/base/createprocessasuser.asp) is what you are looking for... ;)

(However, if you need to open say a Doc file, you will have to find out the application that is responsible for the same... And invoke it with the command line paramter.)

I ended up using CreateProcessWithLogonW (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/createprocessasuser.asp).

Thanks!
