You don't.

It's simply really. You just provide your own dialog asking for the credentials, then you supply those to a ProcessStartInfo instance and pass that to Process.Start.

ProcessStartInfo[^] class

I was just trying that but one part that i didnt think about is that some people at work have cac cards that they would use to provide credentisals and i think the run as would work the best because it looks at both. do you think the processstartinfo class could work with cac cards?

What's a "CAC Card"??

common access card. it holds a certificate to authenticate.

It's not the RunAs dialog box. It's the credentials dialog. I have no idea if it'll work with your cards. The only way to tell is to try it.
