LOG OUT - After Accessing From Another Computer

[Faraz A. Qureshi]

Sometimes I need to access my files while I am at the desk of another
official via explorer by inserting the IP reference as:

\\My IP\c$

Inserting the login Name & Password and accessing C drive. But after the
work is complete and I need to return back to my seat, how could I log out
from that computer, so as to restrict the user from accessing my files
anymore?


Thanx in advance.

First - I am surprised your adminstrator is allowing this mapping of local C
drives between machines. You should have a network share where you store
things, and in any case - the local machines should be locked down a bit
tighter than that in my opinion. It means you are probably local
administrators anyway - and if that is true...

In answer to your question, if you mapped it as a drive letter, open "My
Computer", right-click on it and disconnect.

If you did not map to a drive letter, then click on Start, select RUN, type
in:

net use \\MY IP\C$ /DELETE

Click OK.

That should delete only what you mapped (the \\MY IP\C$) from the system.

Thanx in advance.

You could try the openfiles command, first the
"openfiles /query /s computer" to gain the id of the connection, then
"openfiles /disconnect /s computer /id xx" to disconnect

This is not a true login. You accessing a "shared" folder which is
"mounted" to the "remote" PC. You need to note that any "shared"
folder with a '$' is usually a hidden "share." Also, C$ is a
specially reserved share for "administrators" and should never be used
for "general" access.
