When I VPN into my office using my XP box (which is not a member of the
domain) and I try to go to certain web-based applications, it appears that
IE thinks I'm logged in as someone else.

I authenticate to VPN with a user name of, say, 'joe_user' but when I open
one of these apps, it appears to IE that I'm 'adminjoe_user'

Both accounts are perfectly legitimate.

So somewhere the admin_joeuser account is cached on my system and I cannot
seem to flush it out. Tried all the obvious stuff like clearing cookies and
offline files and all that, but still the problem persists.

Any idea how I can pry loose the admin_joeuser account?
 
Hi,
Check Control Panel> User Accounts> [your account]> Manage network
passwords.

Also, maybe, Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone> Custom (and also
Intranet Zone> Custom) User Authentication> Logon> select "Prompt for user
name."

Hope this helps,
