How to force a (the same !) user to logon when connecting to a network shared folder ?

Ok, I have a small inhouse LAN. A user (say "karl") exists on comp1 and (with the same password) on comp2.

When I call now from WinExplorer->My network places of comp1 a remote network shared folder on comp2
I am immediately connected. Thats convenient but not what I want.

If the user connects a popup should appear requesting a prompt dialog asking for a user
and password of the remote shared folder.

This way the user has the choice whether he can connect with his own user account or another (say priviledged)
user account. When he connects automatically without prompt he is always connected as current user.

Again the question: how do I force a login prompt?

What happens if you have a different password on the karl account on the
"host" computer ?
 
Make the username or the password different.

If they know they want to connect with an account other than
the one that will be used behind the scenes, they can always
elect to "map network drive" and provide the alternate account
info instead of clicking by browsing network places.
 
Don't use the same passwords on both machines.
