I was wondering if this can be done or not to impersonate a user on a
remote machine to access certain directories on that machine? If the
answer yes, how? Thanks.

I wanted to be able to access a directory on another machine encrypted
by a user on that machine. In order to do that, I will have to
impersonate that user on that remote machine (actually on local
network) so that I can login as that user on that machine from my
machine. I tried CreateProcessWithLogonW, but it does not work. It
always tried to find a user on my machine locally rather than the
remote machine I specified.

Is there any other way to solve this? Thanks.
