Re: network access unexplained

thanks for your help.
it turned out to be the "remember my password" box. At one point, I
inadvertantly checked this box when I accessed the network from the student
user account. I was able to remove the credentials in Control Panel, User.

Your credentials are likely cached in the local user profile. On the
two computers that can access your account, logon as a different user
account (with local Administrators access). Remove the local user
profile. Log off and back on as the local user. A new default profile
will be generated. See if you can access the shares from this account
with the new profile.

I have 8 classroom computers that i connect wirelessly to the network after
each class so Microsoft update can run, and i can perform other general
maintenance on the machines. I map a drive to one of our servers during this
process and use my admin account on the server to authenticate. When I am
finished, I disconnect the wireless lan adapter so that during class, the
computers are physically disconnected from the network.

All the computers use a local user account, which does not have a password,
and the computers boot to the desktop for that user. This user is an
administrator account, because the software we are running requires this. All
8 are running XP Professional.

Here is the mystery: When I connect the lan adapter and start the computers,
two of these computers, of the 8 total, can access the network shares with
my user account ( i can tell it is my admin account because if i open a file
on the server and look at open files on the server, i can see that my account
is used) before i map a drive or do anything else to authenticate with my
account.

How is this happening? Have run virus scanners and the Base Security
analyzer.

Has anyone encountered this? How can I find out how Windows is
authenticating the connection?

Thanks
