How can I impersonate the calling user for a COM object?

I have IIS 6.0, mvc 3 application running under asp .net 4.0, basic authentication, web.config has

<identity impersonate="true" />
<authentication mode="Windows" />

I need to use IPersistFile to access my file. The problem is that COM runs under NETWORK SERVICE account and I don't want to give permissions to the file for the NETWORK SERVICE. So, how can I impersonate the calling user for a COM object?

You need to call COM object in a separate STA thread.
