Removing cached network credentials after network share (\\servername) is used

I am wondering if there is a way to destroy the stored network
credentials after authenticating to a network share (\\servername).
For example, after connecting to \\file-server, everytime I reconnect
to it from "run --> \\file-server", it will immediately reconnect me
back without having me to reauthenicate. I am working under a Windows
2000 domain environment, and sometimes I have to connect to the same
server with different credentials, but the only way I know to remove
this cached network credentials is to log off and log back on. I would
like to know if anyone out there has achieved this without logging out.
Not knowing if I am looking into the right direction, I have search
all across google. I have been searching for on google:

remove cached network password "log out"
remove NTLM stored
XP remove cached username network
remove cached network credentials XP

Please advise.
 
You need to either logoff and logon again or try to disconnect the session
at the server or at the client which can be done with the net use or net
sessions command. Use net help use or net help sessions to see how to use
those commands. --- Steve
 
Thanks Steven, I was able to do "net use * /delete" upon which I was
able to add the desired network resource under a different credential
doing "net use T: \\servername\folder /user:domain\username"
