Impersonation with shellexecute

Question

See more:

I need help to figure out how to make use of the shellexecute function along with impersonation without starting a new process. Shellexecute seems to fire a new process and I cannot reach across the gulf, but I need to use shellExecute because it includes the file associations in its execution. Does anyone have a solution for me with perhaps some other APIs.

TIA,

Dennis

Kinda hackish but you could use CreateProcessAsUser to spawn a stub exe that then uses ShellExecute/ShellExecuteEx.
