you want impersonate user have rights access file.

i recommend using class - http://www.codeproject.com/kb/cs/zetaimpersonator.aspx. hides nasty implementation of doing impersonation.

using (new impersonator("myusername", "mydomainname", "mypassword")) {   string filetext = file.readalltext("c:\test.txt");   console.writeline(filetext); }
