Managing Sessions and Open Files
Each user who connects to your computer creates a session. Using the Shared Folders snap-in, you can see a list of all active sessions, revealing who is currently connected to the computer as well as what files they have open. Click Sessions in the console tree to have the current sessions appear in the details pane, as shown in Figure 14-10.

See who is authenticated
If you're trying to determine why some users have access to certain folders and others don't, it's helpful to know whether they're being authenticated using their unique logon credentials or using the Guest account. That's easy to do with Shared Folders. In the Sessions folder, the rightmost column is titled Guest; its value is either Yes (authenticated as Guest) or No (authenticated as named user).
Click Open Files in the Shared Folders console tree to see a list of shared files that are currently open for other users. This viewing tool is especially useful if you're receiving an error message when you try to open a file that's in use by someone else.
Besides seeing who is connected, you can disconnect any or all sessions and close any open files. That's an effective way of kicking out unauthorized users when you find them connected to shared resources on your computer. Right-click a session and choose Close Session to close a single session. Right-click Sessions in the console tree and choose Disconnect All Sessions to close all the open sessions. You can close an individual file by right-clicking it and choosing Close Open File. You can close all the open files at once by right-clicking Open Files in the console tree and choosing Disconnect All Open Files. Taking any of these measures is a drastic step that can cause other users to lose data, so you should avoid disconnecting users or closing open files unless the situation is a genuine emergency.
