So simple and yet I didn't even think to check what other properties might be available in HorizontalAlignment.
Thanks.

This looks like it will work. Only thing is that everything needs to be static which should be fine for what we're doing.

Thanks

So simple, yet it's something I wouldn't have thought of.

It worked! Just finished testing. What a mission though. Anyway, I'm just glad I got it working now.

Thanks

I can't access the 'Zeta Impersonator' link. It says Directory listing denied. But I just notices the '.aspx' was missing from the end of link. That might work for what I want to do. Will give it a go.

Thanks

That worked. Thanks. I did have to set LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE = 9 to get it to work with the server name instead of a domain name.

However, I now have a new problem. If I run LogonUser then all my FolderBrowseDialogs stop working like they should. Now I only have access to folders in the specified RootFolder of the Dialog. By default I have access to everything. One could even browse through the dialog to other PC's on the network, but not if I run LogonUser.

It would have been fine if Microsoft added a All(or something similar) option to the list of RootFolders that you could choose from in design view. But noOooOOo... now I have to alternate between the default Identity and the Backup PC's Identity to get the result I want or write my own folder browser dialog.

Is there someone at Microsoft whose sole purpose is to think of ways to annoy developers?? Who decided that if the Identity of a app is anything other than Default, the folderbrowsedialog will then only have limited function. And who is the Supervisor/Manager/Project Leader who said: "Yes, this is a good idea.". How long that meeting must have been...

I guess I'll do that then as I can't find a solution anywhere. We are a very small business and we have a straight forward simple LAN merely to have access to the Backup/File server (Which is actually just a normal XP pro machine). We simply don't need anything more then that. So specifying a username + pass in the app would have been the simplest solution, but I guess not.

It's quite silly actually. I mean, If you wrote a browser app like Explorer, how would you specify a username + pass when you try and access a PC on your LAN??

WindowsIdentity does not work. The error now get though says that it's a bad username or password.

We use one of the Backup PC's local users to login to the machine. So if there is a a User1 on the Backup PC, we will use that with it's correlating password.

Is there any way to specify a username and password for WindowsIdentity??
