Herb,
Thanks! I've not explored all of this approach, but the
parameters for 'net use' do show and control the
authentication 'memory' of the 'client' system.

I did the simple experiment:
- start with no client access to server share
- 'login' to server share via explorer access to the share
- c:\>net use ... to get list of connections; 1 listed
- close explorer so no access is kept alive
- c:\>net use /delete \\server-name ... to kill connect
- c:\>net use ... to verify
- re-start explorer to locate the system
- share access again requires a fresh 'login'
- there is no memory of the last share 'login'

I can now semi-automate this with a script but it would
have been nice for MS to have added a menu option
'connection clear' for the user ease.

Thanks for the help !
