Is there a way to specify credentials to a network share without using
impersonation?

I have a backup program that contains a username/password for a target
directory to drop zipped files to. The network share requires
authentication, however, and I cannot map a network drive. Is there a way to
specify Kerberos/NTLM network credentials for a specific share in .NET?

Alternatively, is there any code, Win32 or otherwise, that will enumerate
active IPCs, and allow me to map an IPC for for a background user?

Thanks.
