Hi all!

Is there a way to connect to a shared folder as a different user on XP Pro?

Example:
- I log on "PC1" as "User1"
- I have another PC named "PC2" in the Workgroup with also a "User1" user.
- I double click on the PC2 icon in Workgroup
XP connects me directly without asking for a login name (normal behavior).
This is not what I want. I would like to connect as a different user . As XP
never asks me for a login I cannot use a different user name.

What I would like is to force XP to ask for a login. A bit like the "run
as..." command (shift - Right click on an .exe).

Let me know if it is possible.

Thanks,

Antcl

Yes, you can do this with the NET USE command.

net use h: \\server\share /user:me@domain.com password

should do the trick. (You can omit the domain part if it's a single server)

Note however that you cannot connect to two shares on on the same server
with different usernames.
