Ah, you aren't trying to "kick a user" you are trying
to disconnect yourself from one authentication and
use another.

Ok, two choices if this is your issue.

Presumably you authenticated the first time explicitly and
will do so again (either at the command line or in Explorer
but the following will show the command line...)

If you map (net use) the D: drive on Other
net use G: \\Other\DDrive * /user:Other\youUser

Then later want the C: drive without disconnecting then do
this -- first get the IPAddress of "Other" (e.g., 192.168.2.1),
then use that in net use to map the drive:

net use H: \\192.168.2.1\CDrive * /user:Other\notYouAdmin

If you want to reuse the mapped drive letter OR you don't
want to use the IP address then first disconnect YOURSELF:

net use G: /d
net use G: \\Other\CDrive * /user:Other\notYouAdmin

I have no idea why the "IP address" trick works, but it does --
years I have not understood the whole set of weird rules for
this behavior but I can make it work.

Note: The second trick requires you /D deleting the map for
EVERY connection to that server, IF you have more than
one. This includes any "automatic" ones based on the UNC
name (like from your applications using \\Other\CDrive)
