okay, i have XP pro SP2, and i have disabled simple file sharing. i want to setup a folder that is shared. I want to have 2 different logon's to it, one that can edit files, and on that can only read.

I have setup the share with permissions that one has full, and one can only read. I am then accessing it from other XP/2K/2K3 machines on my network. i have also removed the permissions for all others except these 2 users (one of them, that can edit, is my primary logon to laptop).

i then go to another computer and access my laptop. It works, and it asks for a password. I enter the user and i can read my files and edit them. great. I then close the windows. if i reopen them, it stays logged on as the admin user that can edit.

is there a way to force others accessing my shared drives to ALWAYS enter a logon, even if they accidentally close the window, and reopen it?

Mike


EDIT: also if i change the user permissions, if the computer that i was test connecting with says "you dont have permission" and doesnt ask for a user name. it seems that windows is chaching this somewhere, and always using it, is that a way to change that so it doesnt cache?
