Impersonation question

I need to write a simple ASP.Net application. In it, I need to
discover the current user's Windows logon name. To do this, I've
created a web.config with these contents (from another post seen here):

<configuration>
   <system.web>
      <identity impersonate = "true"/>
   </system.web>
</configuration>

Then in my web page, I can print the username with:

<% =System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name %>

My question is, if I use this technique, is the whole ASP.Net page
running in the context of the logged in user instead of ASPNET? If so,
is there another way I can get at the logged in user name without
turning on impersonation for the whole session?

Thanks,
Matt
