Authentication

[Alan]

I'm currently running a windows 2000 machine that
connects to a windows 2000 network at work, it connects
automatically when I log on to my name on my machine.
But when I try to access certain folders it tells me my
access is denied. I would like it to prompt me for a
username/password when I try to access the folders at
least once so I can put in the correct credentials, but I
don't know how to make it do this. Any ideas?
thanks.

You can do that with command line. First you must make sure you are not
connected to the computer having the shares. Otherwise it will start
complaining about conflicting credentials. Then pop up a cmd prompt and type
"net use <network drive letter>: <resource> /user:<domain>\<username>"
That will let you connect as a different user.
