2007 ..and creating a password for it ...i get every now and then a pop up
box called personal folders telling me to put my password ...and when i do

Hard to say at this level of detail.
How many pst-files do you have connected and do you have them all password
protected?
For which pst-file does it ask your password? The main pst-file?

and no i dont have password to them...it ask for a password for personal
folder which is supposed to b a pst file i think.

So where exactly did you set this password and which one are you actually
putting in?
You're contradicting yourself in whether or not you've configured a password
yourself.
You can reset a password by right clicking the root folder of your pst-file
(Outlook Today)-> Properties-> Advanced-> Change Password

Set it to a black password and then see if it goes away. If so, you can
assign it a password again if you want and see if the issues returns.

see when you set up yr outlook you are provided to choose a user name and
password from yr provider

now there is an option to have a password for everytime when u want to open
outlook which i tried to set and that is in (mail setup) then (data files)
personal folders so i set it there and its the same one where i used to do it
always when i was using window xp office 2003... but now when i did the same
here in window vista office 2007 when my outlook is closed and not in use
everytime a box keep popping up every now and then asking me to enter my
password , and when i do that after a while it comes again ... my question is
to how to stop this from popping up ...i didnt face this problem with window
xp office 2003 ...i hope i was clear this time in giving the pic of what is
happening ?? so any idea now to what to do ?

if you are getting a popup when outlook is closed, something it keeping it
open - look in task manager then determine what is causing it. A list of
some of the programs that will keep it open is here:
