Sounds like you need

LogonUser
ImpersonateLoggedonUser
CreateProcessAsUser

function calls to behave as a low priv user or launch a program as a low priv user.

I have never used these myself, but a quick scan through MSDN suggests they may be
what you need.

You may have already tried these of course!
