RE: Password prompting for re-connect of NetServer -- MIDRANGE-L

I'm running 2k.  I've found that as long as your userid is the same, if your
AS/400 password does NOT match your domain password, it prompts you for
username/pass anyway - just like signon as different user without the extra
step.

Perhaps I didn't clarify enough - I don't want the user to be able to just
double-click and have Windows send the cached password.  I want them to have
to sign on all over again.  I hope this details my question some.

You don't mention which OS you're using, but in Windows 2000, there is a
"connect as different user name" option when you map the drive. Note that
you need to do this even if the user name is the same but the passwords are
different. When the below occurs, I usually disconnect the drive and
reconnect.

Folks,

Spent the last hour digging through Microsoft's product support looking for
the parm to turn off password caching in regard to network drives.  No dice.
I am looking for the following to occur.

1.  User maps drive to \\as400server\root and is prompted for
username/password.
2.  User does what they need to do
3.  User is inactive for 5 minutes
4.  AS/400 disconnects session
5.  User double-clicks on drive in "My Computer" to re-open session
6.  User is prompted for username and password again

I can get steps 1-5 to work.  Step 6 is where the problem comes about.
Windows caches the username/password for the specific server and does not
require the user to re-authenticate.  Any ideas on how to get this to work
the way I want it to?  The only reason I'm doing this is b/c if a virus
slips by Exchange (which has been known to happen many, many, many times),
and it's one of those ones that deletes .gif or .jpg files, if the drive is
still mapped, you can kiss your websites goodbye.  Thanks in advance for
your help.
