Hi, 
I have googled for asnwers to this question. One way seems to be to use
CreateProcessWithLogon.

I have attempted this in the following sequence
LogonUser(..) 
CreateEnvironmentBlock(..)
GetUserProfileDirectory(..)
CreateProcessWithLogon(..)
CloseHandle(..) 's

This starts the process OK - Task Manager shows it belonging to the
alternate user. Logging off this session causes the process started as
the alternate user to close also.

Am I heading in the right direction ?
Any Missing steps ?
Other clues ?

thanks
Paul
