Need Admin Privileges to terminate processes

Hi all,
I need to find a way to terminate processes running from a VB .NET program.
So far I am able to terminate process running for the logged in user. I have
not been able to terminate processes for other users, unless the account i am
logged in a has admin privileges. I company security policy does not allow me
to make these user part on the admin group. My idea was to run the VB .NET
exe as the admin user, however the only way I've found to do this is with the
runas command. You can not use the runas command without supplying the
password. I cannot pass out the admin password. Any ideas?

Ron
