when connecting to another computer via windows network, how do i erase the password?

[zskillz]

here's what I want to do and the title of this thread just doesn't do it justice.

when I am at certain computes in my lab, i logon to other computers in the lab through network neighborhood. the thing is that when i'm finished using the connection, I don't want whoever uses the computer after me to be able to access the restricted folders.

the only way that I know of to remove routes is by using the "net use /delete" command, but i was wondering if there is some other setting that I can change that requires a password every time that you remotely try and connect to another computer's shared folders.

anyone?

thanks,

They don't appear again when you logoff if a user with different login logons next.

What muno said, provided you don't map the connections whilst you are logged in, and save the password.

If you have to login to get access to those shares, so would they. So when you logout, they don't have access.

Are we missing something?

since I can't seem to explain what I'm saying very well.. I'll just describe to you what I'm doing and tell you what I don't like about it!

I sit down in front of comp1. I open network neighborhood, browse to our workgroup, and double click on comp2. I am prompted for a username and password.

I enter the username and password. do my business (copy files, etc.) then while still sitting at comp1, I close the window that I opened and never actually "log out" or do anything other than close the window.


here is where the problem is. If I choose to open network neighborhood again and open comp2 again, this time I am NOT prompted for a login/password.

I want to be prompted every time. Is that possible? the reason is that there are multiple people using comp1 and each person needs to access different things on comp2, but I don't want them to have access to what the person who used comp1 before them had access to.

does this make more sense?

What if each user on comp1 has their own user name and password. The when the user is done they log off.

[zskillz]

well... I'd like to avoid having to do that if possible... just because there really are a lot of people using these computers.

Then you may be better of in a domain environment instead of a workgroup.

i don't really have any choice about that.... at least i don't think so.... i'm the "admin" for our group, but we are in a larger building with it's own set of rules and such

Yeah, create a bacth file that does the following
net use /d /y *

and place it on your desktop, doubleclicking that will delete all network connections.

If that's not a good solution, the problem is your network solution.
You know that you can create an universal account for all the users except admin, like guest or whatever you please.
