JSI Tip 0518 - Are you prompted for another user's password when you logon?

If you are prompted for another user's password when you logon, chances are that the profile used to create your account had a persistent connection. Before copying a profile, an Administrator should edit:

HKEY_USERS\<SID>\Network\<Drive Letter>

They should double click on Username and empty this REG_SZ value by removing the <Domainname>\<User> string.

NOTE: Do NOT delete the value, just the string data.
