It'll ask you for credentials, if that would be necessary.
Or you can enter credentials beforehand, assuming you're using the same for
one remote system.
net use \\host\IPC$ * /user:<username>


Good idea, but I need this for an autonomous process.
A service cannot open Windows Explorer.

And windows does not allow credentials in the UNC, afaik.
