[AccessD] OT (sorta) security impersonation

For quite a while now I have used a simple batch file to automatically copy
new files to a users' desktop.  Now, I have a new challenge.
All of our workstations are configured to restrict access to the WINNT
directory and its subdirectories.  To copy a file to these directories I
need to be logged on as an 
admin.
I would like to develop a VB app that would run on each desktop, either as a
normal executable or as a service, that would authenticate itself as an
admin and copy the necessary files.  If I run it as a service, it looks like
I can setup a security profile for the service in the control panel.
 
Has anyone out there done anything like this?
Drew, I know that you have a lot of experience with creating services.  Any
good resources that you can point me to?
