Networked machine 'bypasses' password protection on Win7 shares

I've just encountered an odd problem that is the exact opposite of what you'd expect: One of three machines on a local network somehow remembers passwords for the other machines, despite reboots and attempts to flush cache.

The machines are all running Win7. Password protection is set for shared drives. When rebooted, the first two machines require that the password for the shares be entered. Machine 3 somehow remembers the passwords through reboots of any of the machines.

It's difficult to figure a coherent google search phrase for this, especially in that it turns up the opposite problem (machines that do -not- remember passwords). I did find mention of "net use * /delete" as a possible reset, but that does not work. In fact, "net use" says "there are no entries in the list."

Any ideas?
