for instance, I'm at a domain joined pc, which is logged in as UserA. I want
to get access to a \\server\share which UserA doesn't have permission to
access, but UserB (me) does. can you do this without mapping a drive letter?
currently WinXP just fails with a "you do not have permission to view this
network resource", never prompting for an alternate username\password.

basically, I want to go to start>run, type in \\server\share\folder and
either be able to specifiy a domain\user in the request (so I could put it in
a shortcut), or just have it force a username\password request.

honestly, it seems simple enough, but thus far I have been unable to figure
this out.

Try:

\\Server\Share /USER:<YourUserName>@<DomainName> <password>

Nope, no luck, it just defaults to the currently logged in user. Is there a
local setting on the machine you can change?
