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.

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...

JDS - Feb 9, 2009 09:37PM

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

Khem › zoli - Feb 14, 2009 08:46PM

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',

surya › zoli - Aug 5, 2009 08:56PM

Zoli...............Excellent suggestion. keep it up..............

MikeB › zoli - Dec 8, 2009 04:39PM

Thanks Zoli!!! Have a drink on me sometime!!!!

Since starting some contract work for local small biz several months ago, I've been going just about nuts over 1 of their computers cuz I couldn't figure out why it couldn't accessing the new server share-name I'd setup which was based on a new security-model I had put into place. That 1 computer had previously been configured to save the admin username/password.

In my previous life of doing 14+ years of Desktop Management for a Fortune 100 company, I never had run across the command-line "control userpasswords2". Of course we were a Domain-environment so security was centralized and I never had worked around a workgroup environment.

Just goes to show, never know when you're gonna learn something new.

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.

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'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?

It is really working

Hal_Ber - Mar 27, 2010 01:57PM

if you do not want to log off every time (pretty annoying in the long run), just type from the dos prompt NET USE, then locate the share you want to remove and type NET USE "that_share" /DELETE.

Eugene - Jun 25, 2010 09:47AM

Hi all experts, what if i don't want to logoff, reboot or even use net use todelete the connection? i want windows to ask for the credentials everytime i want to login to the network? like xp home? but in xp pro? is it possible?

Hi

I've read through everyone suggestions and got to the point where I can access shared files on Win XP from my Win 7 computer; however one question is still unanswered:

How do I get Win7 to prompt for a user name and password, rather then store them in the system using "control userpasswords2" command?

My setup:
File server (Win XP Pro) with two sheared folders:
UPLOAD - with read write permissions set for everyone
DATA - with read only permissions set for a user (eg TEST)

Client computers is a mix of Vista Business, XP Pro, Windows 7 Pro (it's my home network). All PCs use different user to login and none are using user TEST. XP and Vista computers work fine, they both prompt for a lo-gin, but I'm still struggling with Win7.

Here is what I've tried so far:
Tried switching between "Allow Windows to manage homegroups connections" and "Use user accounts and password to connect to other computers" under "Change advanced sharing settings" in the "Network and Sharing Center". Currently set to "Allow Windows to manage homegroups connections"

Used "control userpasswords2" there was no passwords stored in there; however when I've added TEST user credentials, then I've managed to access the file server; however my aim is to get log-in prompt working.

"Network access: Do not allow storage of credentials or .NET Passports for network authentication" is enabled on the Win7 PC

Any help will be much appreciated.

El - Feb 11, 2010 09:13AM

Hi,

I am using vista.

I used to logon to local college LAN with student id and password provided and access all the folders with read permissions for students and also the dorm printer.

Recently, our Local LAN andminstrator created a folder "A" and gave me a user id and password that has permissions to write on this folder.

I used map network drive with the new id and password and was able to write on "A".

Problem: Now I tried reading the folders with access to students, and I can't as it is using the new id, password given for "A".

I tried "control userpasswords2" and manage passwords and removed the password for this network.

Now it is prompting for an user id/password but not logging me in, even with the old ID password.
