Ah, I see what you are trying to do.
I don't think there is an easy way to do this.
Let me see if I have this straight.
User Joe is logged in, and is connected to a share on the server.
You want to be able to lean over his shoulder, and connect to another share
on the same server, one which Joe has no permissions for, and supply
different username/password. However, you don't get the chance to supply
these credentials, since it will automatically try to use the credentials of
the existing session.
The problem is that from 1 login session on a PC, you cannot have 2 sessions
to the same server with different credentials. There really is not an
elegant way around that which I can think of.
Could you put the administrative stuff you want to access on a different
server? That would fix it.
If deleting connections with the command 'net use * /delete' didnt help,
then the only other thing I can think of is to stop and re-start the
workstation service. I don't know if it would help or not. I guess it
depends on whether there are any persistent mapped drives that would
automatically re-connect.
