When does Win7 ask for username/password for network access?
Hi, I have two Win 7 Pro PC's (PC1 & PC2) on a wired LAN and in the same workgroup. I have created a share on PC2. When I first tried to access this share from PC1, I clicked on "Network" and found PC2. When I double-clicked on PC2, I was asked for a username and password. After entering a username/password that is valid on PC2, I was able to see the share. Now, when I try to access the share from PC1, I am no longer asked for a username / password. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am guessing this is because Windows 7 has somehow "remembered" the credentials I had entered previously. I'd rather that this not happen. I would like to be forced to enter a username / password *every* time I try to access PC2 from PC1. If anyone can tell me how I can make this happen, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Paul

Hello Paul Go to Start Menu –> Run –> control userpasswords2 and press Enter. User Accounts Dialog Box will appear, Go to Advance Tab and Click on the Manage Password Button. In Stored User Names and Password press the Remove Button and Remove all users information that you want to delete.

If the above doesn’t help then try this 1. Go to Control Panel. 2. Click User Accounts. 3. Click the Manage User Accounts link. 4. Click the Advanced Tab. 5. The Credential Manager screen should come up displaying all of the passwords stored on your machine. 6. Click the arrow next to the password you would like to delete. 7. Click the Remove From Vault link to remove the password.

Enter the following command. net use \\[path of the share folder] /delPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
