Disable cached logins with mapped drives

[John]

Hi,

I have a situation where I connect to my own computer from the lab, I
normally map a network drive and use my own login. After file transfer, if
I disconnect the drive, I can re-connect to the mapped drive again with full
access. Is there any way to stop that so once the mapped drive is
disconnected, it would require a login again if the drive is re-mapped?

Thanks.

John,

See if a reboot helps helps.

If the credentials are retained even after reboot, see the following article
