Is it possible to disconnect a WebDAV share in Windows 7?

I have an Apache server in my network with a WebDAV share using Digest Authentication. I also used the "Add a network location" in Windows 7 to add the WebDAV share. The WebDAV share works without any problem so far. Create, copy or delete files are working.

The 开发者_如何学编程first time I access the WebDAV share after I log on to Windows, I will enter my credential information (username and password). I do not need to supply any credential information for the 2nd and 3rd time I access the WebDAV if I don't log out from Windows 7.

Is there any easy way to log me out or disconnect my WebDAV share after I finish using the share but not log out from Windows 7?

The WebDAV share contains important and sensitive data and I wish to end the session once I finish my task again the share. A function like disconnect would be sufficient for me.

To disconnect WebDAV share use the 'net use' command. For example to disconnect all shares run in a command prompt:

net use * /delete

You may also want to clear the cached credentials. In this case you can run in a command prompt:

rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr

This command will display a dialog in which you can delete cached login/password.

In Windows 8.1, the following approach worked for me:

1) Go to the Services Console (services.msc)

2) Find the running Webclient service and then Stop it

3) Refresh the Network Locations Window and then the WebDav location should be gone

4) Restart the Webclient service.

You put your mouse pointer over the connection (in Windows Explorer), click the right button mouse and choose Delete
