Software for organizing access to network drives by login-password?
Good afternoon
There is a local area network with 20 computers. If the computer allocated by the authorities "under the server". Windows XP-7 is installed on computers, you can put anything on the “server”. On all computers, users are authorized under the "Guest".
You need to find software that would allow users on a local computer, after authorization in the "Guest", to access certain network drives with certain rights that would be determined during user authorization in separate software. That is, a program must be launched on client computers, where the user will enter a login password and a set of network drives will appear in the “Computer” folder. After Log Off network drives should be disabled.
Tried Samba - not that. It does not create network drives, it just shows the folder in the Network section. In addition, we do not want to specify these disks manually, everything should be automatic.

In general, authorizing users as guests is bad. For your tasks, people have come up with a domain for a long time. Let users enter their login and password in a special Windows login screen, and use all network resources with their own rights. Well it is one of functions of the domain.
If there is a local account on the computer and an account with the same name and password on the server (I am only responsible for Windows), then when accessing the network folder, authentication will be automatic, and you can safely permanently map disks.
It if well it is absolutely impossible to lift AD in any way.
As already mentioned, a domain here would be much better, as well as an account with the same name.
If they do not suit you, then I have such a crutch option:
You can try a simple script using net use, theoretically, but the console window in which you will request a login-password is still not ice. As an option on Lazarus, make a simple GUI application that will be launched from autorun and just ask for a username and password and connect resources using net use, for example.
There was an idea to create a window from a script through a rundll call, but I don’t know how to do it.
