Is it possible to run an independent application inside a WinForms application?

Is it possible to run an independent application inside a WinForms
application?

I need to control an independent application using a WinForms host
application as if the other application were running on a Remote Desktop
and my newly developed host application was the Remote Desktop host. The
CodeProject article Remote Desktop using C#.NET is inspiring that the
likelihood that my task is possible is not zero. It explains how to use
the "Microsoft Terminal Services Control Type Library", or MSTSCLib.dll to
do this.
Howevere, I do not want to connect to a remote desktop. If anything, I
want to connect to a second desktop on the same machine if that is
necessary to independently run the hosted application, or something
similar. Is this at all possible with MSTSCLib? If so, what aspects do I
need to look at to further develop a design for this?
