Choosing which account to log on to, over a network

Hi,

When a PC first logs onto another PC to access a share, you are prompted for a username and password. Having typed these in you then have an option for windows to remember the password. If you do this the user name and password are used for subsequent logins to that machine (as desired) but I cannot see a way after this, to logon to the same machine but to differenct account.

How is this achieved?

I have found a long winded way to do it where the password is changed on the machine which is being logged into which then forces the other machine to redisplay the username/password screen again and here you can log into a differenct account if you like. Of course the procedure must be repeated in order to restore the original password. It bit of a pain so therefore I deduce that there must be an easier way!

There really is not a good way to do it since NT4/2K/XP/2K3 are designed not to allow it.

 

There is a utility available (but I dont rememebr where or even its name - helpful post huh) that deletes all previous attached drive mappings at startup. This may be extreme but would, technically, do what you want to do
