Is there anyway I can acces my network folder logged on
as another user and get a username and password prompt to
come up so I can secure the folder for just me?
 
Hi Jerry,

you can map network drive with other user name... e.g.

net use x: \\server_name\share /user:domain\username password

Replace x: with desired network drive letter
Replace \\server_name\share with name of your server and share that you
would like to access
Replace domain\username with NetBIOS name of your domain and your "other"
domain username
Replace password with domain username's password

Another option is to run Windows Explorer (not IE). Click on Tools > map
network drive...
Before you click OK (after you entered desired network path) click
"Different User name"...

I hope this helps,

Mike
 
To secure the folder just for you the share and ntfs permissions would need to be
configured to have just your user account in the security/permission properties. Keep
in mind however that the administrators of a computer can always give themselves
permissions to any file/folder on the computer and can access the data. -- Steve
