DELPROF.exe.

Download it from tip 6705 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com

To delete the local profile when the user logs off, see tip 3160.

thanks!
but I think that I did not describe my problem correctly.
it is oke that the computer caches logon credentiails.

The problem that happens is that there are also credentials cached in the
profile of a user. I have a user that was able to connect from one computer
to another. But then she changed her password and she was not able to
connect to the other computer anymore. as a workaround we deleted her
profile. but if this happens again sometime in the future i want to be able
to present a real sollution. everything happens in a win2000 active dir
domain

On Windows XP there is the credential manager that if there are stored
credentials that would give the behavior that you are describing.
1. While logged on as the user bring up Control Panel, and bring up User
Accounts.
2. On the Advanced tab, click the Manage Passwords button.

There might be some credentials that were saved there. You can remove
those.



On Windows 2000, for mapped drives you should just need to logoff/logon and
it will prompt for credentials again to remap the drive.
