We have just setup SPS2003 and it look really good ;)
I wanted to do some SPS admin from my own machne logged on as me (a non
admin) so being really *smart* I started IE using the 'run as' option and
used the account credentials of the domain admin to start the program.
everything worked just fine - I did the admin tasks as the domain admin and
then closed IE.

Problem - now whenever IE starts and connects to the portal it *always*
thinks I am the domain admin and not me! If I hit the 'My site' button I get
shown the domain admins 'my site' , not my own one!

I have cleared all my offline content and cookies in IE but it still doesnt
know its me!
How can I fix this? Why does IE persist in using the credientials from when
I started it as a domain admin?
Is it an IE or SPS2003 issue?

Help!

Isnt it great when you answer your own question?
If anyone else is running into this the problem was due to IE caching
passwords for the portal site.
Under XP its a snip to clear this up as it has a control panel applet to
remove passwords for individual web sites:

worked like a charm and I am now seeing my 'real' my site - not the domain
admins!
