And once again, that's how it's designed. Once a user logs onto their
computer and authenticates to a share, that authentication works for a
specific length of time. Otherwise, every time an application attempted to
fetch a record from a shared resource, you'd have to type the username and
password - not much work would get done! Each time the share is accessed,
the timer is reset. The Windows security model is built around user
accounts. Every user should be required to log on to the workstation they
use with their unique username and password, and log off whenever they leave
their workstations. Once a different user logs on, any share that requires
credentials to access will demand them of the new user. If workstations log
on automatically and/or different people use the same user acccount, you've
taken it upon yourself to defeat the well-documented (and air-tight)
security model. Even virus and other malicious software for the most part
would be powerless if we all followed the Microsoft security "best
practices" (#1 Don't log on using an administrative account except when
performing administrative tasks).

Hi. I have two computers (A & B) running win2k connected to my
home network. I frequently need to access the hard drives of the
different computers via network neighborhood. After I login to
computer B from computer A, I can login to computer B again and
again without the need to input username/password. I would need
to input password again only after I shutdown computer A. The
question is how do I logout of computer B without having to
ShutDown and restart computer A? Basically, I want to make it
necessary to input username/password everytime I need to access
the other computer.
Right-Click on "My Network Places" then select "Disconnect Network
Drive...". Choose the drive/computer/mount you want to detach from
and click "OK".
HTH,
John
To map computer B's drives, I would need to access (login with
password) computer B via "My Network Places" first. The problem is
that once I disconnect the mapped drive, I can still access computer B
via "My Network Places" without being prompted for password.
