That didn't make sense, let me try that again:
I know for a fact that you can get stuff to run as the logged in user. I
know this because there are options in group policy that allow you to do
this during login. If you have the username, and the credentials, there
must be some way to get something to run as the currently logged in user.

Thanks,
Pair
