C #: load roaming profile and execute program as user

In the application, I need to execute other programs with different user credentials. I am currently using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start to execute the program: 

public static Process Start(
   string fileName,
   string arguments,
   string userName,
   SecureString password,
   string domain
)

However, this function does not download the roaming profile from the network - which is required.

I could use "runas / profile ..." to load the profile and execute the command, but that would require a password. There must be a more elegant way ...

But where?

My solution (based on leppie's hint):



        Process p = new Process();

        p.StartInfo.FileName = textFilename.Text;
        p.StartInfo.Arguments = textArgument.Text;
        p.StartInfo.UserName = textUsername.Text;
        p.StartInfo.Domain = textDomain.Text;
        p.StartInfo.Password = securePassword.SecureText;

        p.StartInfo.LoadUserProfile = true;
        p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

        try {
            p.Start();
        } catch (Win32Exception ex) {
            MessageBox.Show("Error:\r\n" + ex.Message);
        }
