How can I get rid of a pop-up which keeps inviting me to sign in to the MS
Passport Network?
I have a laptop running XP Pro with SP2. There are three user accounts: me
as Administrator, me as a user, and my wife also as a user. When logged on
as Administrator, if I open Windows Explorer (eg looking for files), and I
click on either my Admin or User account folder-heading in the left-side
panel, a popup appears on the right side (over the list of folders/files)
with the heading "Sign in with Microsoft Passport Network", and the little
boxes for sign-in name and password, and the OK and Cancel buttons. I
usually have to cancel 2 or 3 times for the popup to go away. If I am not
connected to the Internet at the time, a popup appears with the heading
"Microsoft Passport Network Connection Error". If I click on my wife's
account heading, the popup doesn't appear. And if I am logged on as a user
(and go into Windows Explorer) there is never any popup.
I have a Hotmail account and thus a MS Passport name and password - which I
use only when actually at Microsoft websites. I do not use MSN Messenger or
other such things.
Why is this "Sign-in... " popup appearing when I'm in Windows Explorer? It
is bizarre and extremely irritating. How can I stop it?
