Your issue is with Windows, not with the ReadyNAS. Windows just doesn't work that way.
You can force the password prompt using two other methods:
- Log out of Windows (instead of restarting)
- Use the command prompt to close the SMB sessions ( net use * /delete /y )
The command prompt can be put in a script that you can run from the desktop. Let us know if you are interested in that (and need help creating it).
