Hello

My question is very simple: How do I log out from a network folder in
Windows XP? I want to do this because I want to log in as a different user
after that.

One of these two methods should work:

o Right-click on "My Network Places",
   select "Disconnect Network Drive"
   select what you want to disconnect from
   click "OK"

o Open Command Window
   enter: net use
   find the connection you want to disconnect
   enter: net use \\<computer>\<share> /delete

You may have to disconnect all connections to a machine in order to use
a different user name.

HTH,
