  • Microsoft Windows 95

Microsoft Windows NT has an option that lets you connect to a network resource as someone else. This option uses a Connect As box in the Connect Network Drive dialog box.

Microsoft Windows 95 does not have such an option in its Map Network Drive dialog box. The only way to connect to a network resource as someone else in Windows 95 is to log off and then log back on as a different user.
