1- Right click on the shared folder and select properties.
2-From sharing tab select permissions.
3-Remove everyone
4-Add your user name and select permission type "read only" or "full control".
Now only your user name have permissions to access this folder.

Vista has a permissions tab/button, but XP does not. I want to do essentially the reverse here, please someone help!

XP has the same sharing/permissions options as vista but they are disabled by default.

Open up and folder and browse to Tools\Folder Options and click the View tab, scroll down until
you find Use Simple File Sharing -> its at the bottom, and remove the tick. Hit apply and right click
a folder. Your options should now be visable.

Hope thats what you were after

I believe what the question / comment is that everytime when he accesses 192.168.1.2, it automatically opens. The first time, there was a prompt for the username and password. Now it never does that. How can he have it automatially ask for a username and password everytime. Not just the first.

Hy,
probably this will help:

Click Start and open Run
In that window type: control userpasswords2
Press OK
in the next window go to the secon tab on top, named: Advanced
and from there open: Manage Passwords
There you should see if there is a password stored for the address that you have mentioned
If yes then delete it and close the windows with OK
try to connect again to that address, it should prompt for authentication. Do not check the Remember option...

Hope it helps..

I did what you suggested with the "control userpasswords2" and it did remove the auto log in. Unfortunately now every time I go to \\Server I can see the folders without logging in, but I can't access the shared folders anymore. I've tried everything and can't get access back...

Never Mind... I just needed to run the application again and manually add a server, user and password for that computer.

Is there anyway to have the windows prompt for user and password everytime?

I can't access same ip with different login unless I have to go through your step and remove the auto login.

Thanks in advance for your help. :D

Hello zoli,

After i try with your steps on how to disable auto login network share folders.
I got the result as what i expected. I work so well with the authentication screen,
when i try with windows XP.

Unfortunately, I didn't not work with Windows Vista.
I try to change everything like your steps,
but what i get at the finally but finally the authentication screen didn't
appear. It still remember the previous user and password.
This is the step I have done follow yours:
- Disconnect all network drive mapping on Windows explorer Tools -> Diconnect Network Drive
- Try the command "control userpasswords2" to clear all resource link, user and password.
- I try to open the resource on my server again, but it still not show me the authentication screen.
- I try to add a login (Server, User, Password) follow by the authentication I expected on "control userpasswords2". Unfortunately, the result: it still remember the old authentication which i don't want.

This is what my systems attribute:
- Windows Server 2003 service pack1 for the resource server.
- Windows Vista for access the resource from the server.

***Is there any solution to my problem?

I'm waiting for your help,

Best Regards,
The K',

I'm asking the same question as (9) Khem.
I have a shortcut to the financial statements folder on my desktop (WinXp sp3)
When I access it the first time after logining in, it will ask for userid/password.
But "it" (either XP or the server (Fedora 9)) remembers my creds for the rest of the day.
How to I force it to alway forget my creds as soon as I close the window?

To disable storage of network passwords.

In Windows XP go to "Control Panel > Administrative Tools" Double click "Local Security Policy" mmc snap-in Shortcut.

Now in "Local Security Policy" management console open "Local Policies > Security Options" on your left.

You will see a Policy list to your right. Browse to the Policy "Network access: Do not allow storage of credentials or .NET Passports for network authentication". Double click it, select Enabled, click Apply and then OK.

Reboot your computer.
