Hi all:)
  Sorry, maybe my question is very silly, because I think what I require 
is impossible because of security matters, anyway...
I would like to open a process on another PC in my LAN. I have all the 
credentials for running it, because the same user exists on both 
machines (running WinXP). If I use CreateProcess to run the process 
giving \\OtherPC\somepath\myprog.exe as path, it is executed on my 
machine!:) ?? Mayb that is correct, but not what I want to accomplish ))...
I would like to avoid to create a server that waits for a remote order 
to execute my program on the second machine.. is that possible?
Thank U very much.. it is very urgent!
Stefano B.

Yes, that's correct. RThat's the way it works.

Sorry but AFAIK, it's the only way to do what you want.

Look into WMI, in particular Win32_process.  See:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.win32.programmer.wmi/browse_thread/thread/37a329a71f87d2df/031c98ce9ace5c5d?lnk=st&q=remote+execution+wmi+Win32_Process+CoInitializeEx&rnum=4#031c98ce9ace5c5d

For an example.
