You might be able to do something with terminal services. One
user uses the local desktop on the PC, and the other is uses a
remote desktop on the file server.

Alternately, you can have them run a batch file that deletes their
connections to the file server under the existing credentials, then
re-establishes under their own. E.g. when user2 comes on:

  net use x: /d
  net use \\servername /d
  net use x: \\server\share /user:user2@domain.com <password>

I don't believe you can have two users simultaneously connected
to the server from the same workstation without getting a credentials
conflict error (although TS does it all the time). Otherwise,
you could set up user1 with one set of drives and user2 with a
different set of drives, and have them connected similtaneously.
Nor can you have two console sessions on the remote PC with different
credentials and switch between them. I would be happy to hear that
I am wrong and how to get either idea to work.
