I need my winform program to run as another user (it will run under task scheduler) and not the logged on user. I suspect the trouble is my app is gui based and not command line based (does this make a difference) so the gui needs to load do its thing and then close. Is this possibly under XP or Vista?

My program has a component - dubbed the Scheduler - that lets other components register points in time at which they want to be called back.

I have some custom programs I've written to do various maintenance/monitoring tasks that I run periodically (some every few minutes, some as little as once a day).
