Network drives

Hi Gents, I'm running a service on a windows NT2000 system and the program launched as a service must interact with the desktop. The program uses mounted drives on another shared resources So the service must be launched with a specific domain account and not the LocalSystem account.

Hi Gents,
 
I'm running a service on a windows NT2000 system and the program launched as a service must interact with the desktop.
The program uses mounted drives on another shared resources So the service must be launched with a specific domain account and not the LocalSystem account.
This way, it is not possible to interact with the desktop.
 
The solution is to make the mounted drives seen by NT as LocalDrives.
Do you know any softwares (freewares, sharewares or commercial tools) or any registry settings that can mystify the NT system ?
 
Many thanks

The program needs to see the network drive as local, and using the Domain Credentials instead of the local login?
 
If that is correct, are you logging onto the Domain? or locally?

OP
My program needs to use datas on shared resources of another server.
So, I connect them through the 'net use' command using a domain account and I need to use the LocalSystem account to run the program and to be able to interact with the desktop.
The program should see mounted drives as local drives and no as network drives.
