Hey all,
I'm getting really frustrated with how difficult it is to change who you're authenticated as on a network share in Windows.
I'm a PC guy, but using a Mac is so much easier when it comes to this - if I'm authenticated as Bob to server "Server" and I want to be authenticated as Jane, I just have to click "Connect As" or "Disconnect / Reconnect" in the finder window. In Windows, once you've authenticated, you're stuck until you logout of the machine and log back in.
Our server doesn't ask for authentication until you open a specific folder - so if you just access the server, the client happily shows the list of shared printers and folders... but now that it's authenticated as a guest, if I open any share it says I don't have permission.
