force user validation for windows app not web

[GooGoocluster]

I want to make an application that forces users to login using windows credentials when they use the application on public computers.

In our network we have personal and public computers. I would like when ever some one were to use this public computer with a public login to force them to use there own rather then the public login.

example:

if user = "publicUser" then
'code to force login
else
'code to use the login that is validated
end if

The problem is I don't the code to force the login, and then forums I have searched talk about adjusting the web browser settings. Can this be done for a stand alone application?

PS I am moving from VBA to VB 2005 so I am trying to learn as I go.

I've not done this. However, I found an example in C# using the Windows API. Give it a look and see if it works for you. C# is fairly easy to translate to VB.Net
