// This sample demonstrates the use of the WindowsIdentity class to impersonate a user.
// IMPORTANT NOTES:
// This sample can be run only on Windows XP. The default Windows 2000 security policy
// prevents this sample from executing properly, and changing the policy to allow
// proper execution presents a security risk.
// This sample requests the user to enter a password on the console screen.
// Because the console window does not support methods allowing the password to be masked,
// it will be visible to anyone viewing the screen.
// The sample is intended to be executed in a .NET Framework 1.1 environment. To execute
// this code in a 1.0 environment you will need to use a duplicate token in the call to the
// WindowsIdentity constructor. See KB article Q319615 for more information.
