I think you missed the fact that pubkey authentication does impersonation,
not Windows-style authentication.  So Windows apps won't recognize the pubkey
authentication as providing permissions to run restricted programs.  You'll
have to use password authentication if you want Windows to recognize the
user you've become via ssh.  You can find all sorts of discussion on the 
difference between pubkey and password authentication for ssh in the email 
archives if you're interested.
