Thanks go to Scott Birl, Paul Fotim Gary Mulder and Jonathan Young. The conclusion is cygwin.dll utilities will not help, One other options is "only option I can think of is to convert the operation to a service and give the service the relevant user parameters." or similar approach: There is also an add-on service that MS provides (I forget the name, it is in the 2000 Resource Kit - an extra product) that can be configured to run an application. ie. it is a service wrapper that wraps an application so as to enable that application to run as if was a service.
