Hi,
I think you'll have to use native API to accomplish this. You have to call
LogonUser API and then impersonate. There is a sample in MSDN, check
WindowsIdentity.Impersonate Method in System.Security.Principal namespace.

I have once used WNetUseConnection API to map drive with different
credentials and then access it (as an alternative method).
