File sharing authentication

When I access a folder shared on another Windows PC, I'm prompted to login
with and user and password of that PC. When I login, the folder is
accessible, until I shut down the client or disconnect the user. I want to
manually logout from the shared folder! How do I do?

This is my typical scenario: I want to access my files from another person's
computer, but I don't want my folder is still accessible to that person when
I've finished!

That is not how it works. You do not "login" or "logout" of a share.

If you try to access a share which you do not own or have not been given
specific access to, you are prompted for a username and password to ensure
that you are entitled to acess the share. These credentials allow you access
to the share. This has no effect on anyone else trying to access it. They
will also be prompted for credentials also. They cannot use yours.

This is true if I close my local session on the PC. But if I can't and the
people after me go on using the computer with the same local account, they
will still have my credentials! I want to delete the credentials from the
local user session!

You can use the NET USE command to disconnect or close a connection to a
network share. Simply open command prompt and type:

NET USE /D \\server\sharename

and the connection to the share will be closed.

I hope I am understanding your problem correctly.
