[Help] - Domain Permissions on Network Shares

[Negeva]

I have a corporate domain set-up with various network shares that mount as a network drive on the workstations upon boot using a logon.bat script (NET USE "DriveLetter": \\Computername\Share etc..) ie:

rem This is the Logon Script for "My Company Here" Windows 2003 Server Enterprise
@echo off
cls
net use m: \\Computername\management
net use o: \\Computername\common
net use p: \\Computername\apps
net use q: \\Computername\acct
exit

So i have perfect permissions set up for each share using Active Directory. Only certain people are allowed access to management, and acct (Accounting). (Maintained by users who belong to a certain Group, and then the group has access to that particular share) Everyone has permission to view Common, and Apps (Applications). Common, is just as it sounds .. the "Common Drive" for the company. People have there own folders in here for storing and sharing stuff that isnt necessarily "Private".

What i would like to do is have the "Applications" network drive as explained above ask for a username and password when trying to access it. I know that i can change the permissions on it to say...only let the user "Patrick" have access to it, but if im logged on as say... the user "Chris" then i get an "Access Denied" message. If i was to log-off that machine as the user "Chris" and log-on as "Patrick" then of course i would be able to access that network drive. The problem is, i dont want to have to log off, i just want to double click on that drive and then be asked for a username and password. I have a feeling this is because i am in a "Domain" environment, and there is no way around it. But since i am a self-taught Administrator, then its very likely that i just dont have the knowledge to do what i want to do. Thats why i am here asking.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... thanks for your time.

It will only prompt you if you are not a member of the domain. The assumption is that you have already assigned proper rights in the domain.

You can try using the runas command like
runas /user:username"explorer /separate"
This will prompt you for that users password. This will bring up explorer in a separate process with whatever rights that user has. You could even map a shortcut as well.
