iis security : How to Change Connection Credentials

On our internal IIS server we have a SharePoint site as well as various
other ASP.net sites. One site is used for ClickOnce deployment of a variety
of Windows applications.

Recently when trying to publish a ClickOnce app to the server, I was
ultimately forced to use the server/administrator credentials because the
server would not accept either mine (domain admin) or the actual domain
adminstrator's credentials. That's a separate issue.

Now, though I'm not prompted for a login when connecting to the SharePoint
site, I've found that SharePoint thinks I'm the server/administrator, since
whenever I checkout a document, it's shows to be checked out to the
server/administrator.

How can I reset the credentials used with IE upon load/login?

Thanks.

This sounds like a configuration issue with Sharepoint, and you want
to go to its newsgroup. There is nothing related to IIS or its
security.

If it was working fine before, it really sounds like someone botched
up the server configuration somewhere. Somehow, only Server
Administrator is allowed to do anything on the server, and Sharepoint
is using the Server Administrator. These are all server-side
configurations that any server administrator can tweak and cause havoc
elsewhere.

Actually, I think this is an Internet Explorer issue, not IIS or SharePoint.
I'll post the question on that newsgroup.
