ASP.net Application using Impersonation

I have an application that is using impersonation and when I try to
launch an executable, the executable is started with the
NetworkService account used in the Application Pool identity. My
understanding is that it should launch using the logon account.
Windows 2003, IIS6.0, and ASP.NET 2.0.
 
Under ASP.NET 1.1, running "any.exe" using
Process.Start will always run as the ASP.NET account.

Fortunately, under 2.0, provided you take the necessary steps,
you can run an executable via any account, and even return to
continue executing ASP.NET under your usual account.

See:

There's very specific instructions/links there
which will allow you to do what you want to do.

When I run this on my my Windows XP machine, Notepad will start and
run under the username supplied.
Moved application to Windows 2003 and I get the Access denied error. I
can launch notepad as
the user supplied on the W2K3 machine using run as. It still appears
to me that the process is trying to launch as Network Service????/

f = Nothing
f = New SecureString

For Each b In pwd.ToCharArray()
