|
| ---
| in simple: a shared folder i once connected to, can be freely

| or in first place, not have the user/pass cached?
|
|
| ---
| in detail:
|
| the setup is a couple of xp boxes. one (S) shares a critical
| folder, to wich the others can connect using the administrator
| account and pass of the box that shares (S).
|
| then i connected from a second box (C) to that share (browsing the
| workgroup) without checking the 'store password' box when entering
| username/pass. the problem now: although i logged out from that client
| account whenever i log in, the account can browse the workgroup and
| freely access the critical folder (S) without being asked for
| a password.
|
|
| 1. how can i clear that credential for good?
|
| 2. how can i make 100% sure that a password is not cached somewhere
| when i access a share and thus make the share avaialable to
| anyone logging in after me??
|
|
| any hints deeply appreciated

|
| to avoid misunderstandings, the way i connected the share was
| simply t ogo to network neigborhood, searched for the system,
| clicked on the share and entered that machines account (i.e.
| user/pass) which was not a duplicate account, nor was it a guest
| account that's publicly open....

Try changing the password.

| thanks for your reply.
|
| the point is, it's not in there! the list is in fact empty.

| in your network passwords and can be deleted there...

Try deleting everything within;
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials\

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials\
