I think you can call LookupPrivilegeValue() using
SE_ASSIGNPRIMARYTOKEN_NAME

as the privilege constant and then call AdjustTokenPrivileges() on the
handle returned  from LogonUser before doing the impersonation or
CreateProcessAsUser.

I don't have time to try right now, but I may have a go to see if this
works tomorrow. I  don't have access to an NT machine though, so I
could only test to see that it gave no  errors on 2000 pro XP.

Cheers,
