I ran the command u told its not showing that session/connection with machine
in list neither my problem fixed. When I try to access administrator share
e.g. "\\machinename\c$" it pormpts for authentication but guest already
selected as user name and user name combo disabled it only allows me to enter
passwords for that already selected guest user.
This required sometimes when u require to temporarily access server's
administrative share from other user's machine to access any utility etc. and
then don't want to allow that user to access the same. All this procedure
can't be done without log off/closing apps.
I actually couldn't understand this strange behaviour of Windows, sometimes
it ask for UID/PWD when u access hidden administrative share even if you
already has connection as guest or other low privileged user but sometimes it
act as mentioned above with UID selected, disabled and sometimes it clearly
dnies access without any prompt.
One way I tackle this problem without log off and without closing apps is I
end explorer.exe process and then run explorer.exe as administrator user from
task manager, access the required share and then to shift back explorer.exe
to same previous user again end explorer.exe process and run it as that user.
It works but its a long process to do a simple thing.
I think MS should have to add some check box in authentication box to ask
user whether one wants to maintain session for the connection or temporarily
accessing it once (or session automatically expires after specified time)
etc. This is the problem since Windows 95 uptill now, I don't know y
Microsoftees didn't face this problem yet or if facing it y don't they want
to fix it.
