Security - Run part of app under alternate user?

I'm writing a Performance app which uses the remote registry service to
query remote hosts. When launched within the security context of an admin
on the local/remote machine being queried, everything works fine.

However, I would like to add the ability for the user to enter a
username/password to connect to a remote box in the event that they know the
admin password, but their currently logged in account is not an admin on
that box. Is this possible?

PS - I know about but don't want to escalate the entire app with the
standard runas, this would require them to quit and re-run the app every
time they connected with different credentials.
