Answer 1

Oh well, this thing has really got my attention.
I have finally managed to start the tscon.exe from Process.Start.
You need to pass your "admin" account info, otherwise you get the 'File not found' error.

Do in this way

ProcessStartInfo pi = new ProcessStartInfo();
pi.WorkingDirectory = @"C:\windows\System32"; //Not really needed
pi.FileName = "tscon.exe";
pi.Arguments = "0 /dest:console";
pi.UserName = "steve";
System.Security.SecureString s = new System.Security.SecureString();
s.AppendChar('y');
s.AppendChar('o');
s.AppendChar('u');
s.AppendChar('r');
s.AppendChar('p');
s.AppendChar('a');
s.AppendChar('s');
s.AppendChar('s');
pi.Password = s;
pi.UseShellExecute = false; 
Process.Start(pi);

also to see the result of the command change the following two lines

pi.FileName = "cmd.exe";
pi.Arguments = "/k \"tscon.exe 0 /dest:console\"";
