automatically resetting passwords

[Dave]

A user logs onto the local machine using a local account.
The user then accesses a mapped network drive and XP asks
for a valid server username and password.

If the user accidentally ticks the "remember password" box
for the mapped network drive, then the next person who
sits down and logs on using the same local account will
have access to the previous users area on the server
through the mapped network drive.

There is a way to automatically reset the mapped network
drive password each time someone logs out.

I seem to recall seeing a tick box somewhere within XP
that says clear all passwords when someone logs off.

I cannot remember how to do this. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

However, what IMO is the better solution is to give each=20

I have to leave Home for someone else to respond concerning.
