One problem with this is that Windows can only handle one user account per machine at a time. If there is still a session open (and sometimes they are hidden), then this approach will fail to connect to the new share.
You could write a simple batch script that terminates any open network sessions to the NAS. You could then click on that to essentially "log out" of the NAS. Something like this should do it.
rem @echo off net use * /delete /y

You'd also have to be careful not to allow Windows to save the NAS password.

FWIW, you can also just log out of the Windows system when you are done.
