Accessing shared folders.. how to delete the cached passwords

hi al

Consider that two folders are shared in my ethernet LAN, with names SHARED1 and SHARED2 on a remote system.
There are two users who share a work station, with login ids ID1 and ID2

User ID1 has permissions to access only SHARED1 folder , but ID2 has permissions to access both the SHARED1 and SHARED2

When the system is booted up, no passwords are cached, and user ID1 accesses SHARED1, by giving his login username and password. He cannot access SHARED2 folder as he does not have permissions. Windows caches this username and password and does not ask the user the next time he tries to access SHARED1.

Everything is fine till here
but if ID2 now wants to access SHARED2, Windows does not ask the username and password as he assumes ID1 username and password that it has cached already.

is there any way to delete this cache

right now i have to log-out and relogin to connect to SHARED2. There should be some intellegent way of doing this

can anyone help.
 
I am evidently missing something here.
How can ID1 and ID2 be logged into the one login
session at the same time on machine being used to
access these remote shares?
ID1 logs into the machine, accesses share available to it
called Share1, and cannot get to Share2 as it has no grant.
Now, how is it that account ID2 comes into use on the
machine ? Does it not need to login first, and so gets its
own set of network sessions ?
