Who am I connected as?

This is best asked through an example:

I'm on a Windows XP client and I connect to a share on another XP client on
the network. Naturally I'm asked for a username and password, which I fill
in and tick the "remember my password" box. At this time I've connected as a
restricted user.

Now I need to connect to the same share as an administrator, but since I
ticked the "remember my password" box I no longer can enter my
username/password credentials, thus preventing me from accessing the share as
an administrator!

So the question's this:

Is there a way to 'clear' the current logon credentials of a share?

Following on from this, is it possible to view the logon credentials of a
share? i.e. say a second administrator user uses the XP machine in my
example, can they find out who connected across the share last?

You could delete the mapping with a net use \\share /delete and reconnect
with net use \\share /USER:username password command. Not sure on the
second question.
