I have a .NET Windows Service which needs to log on to another machine
to access a UNC share. Is this possible? I assume so due to the
existence of the NetworkCredential class, but I can't find any
associated class to access the share using a NetworkCredential object?

Hello Chris,

its because the NETWORK SERVICE, which is used to start you services, has
no rights to network shares

Can I not switch accounts programmatically, or log on to the share
using another account programmatically though? There is a limited
local account available on the machine just for this purpose.
