Tips & Tricks:

Don't forget to call RevertToSelf when done.

Sample Code:

    Dim lngLogonType, lngLogonProvider, lngTokenHandle As Integer
    Dim blnResult As Boolean

    lngLogonType = LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE
    lngLogonProvider = LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT

    blnResult = RevertToSelf()

    blnResult = LogonUser(strUser, strDomain, strPassword, _
                         lngLogonType, lngLogonProvider, _
                         lngTokenHandle)
    If blnResult Then
        blnResult = ImpersonateLoggedOnUser(lngTokenHandle)
        CloseHandle(lngTokenHandle)
    Else
        MsgBox("Error logging on")
    End If
