Sign in with Windows ID - what is this???

[fiercepierce]

Hi
I'm being prompted to "Sign In with Windows Live ID" when I open my "My
Documents/My Pictures" folder. This doesn't happen when I'm online....just
when I'm accessing my C: drive. Does anyone know what this is and how to
make it stop?

Thanks!

That sounds very strange; do you save webpages as .html in your My Pictures
folder? Try making a screen shot of the message and posting it online where
it can be viewed. Is it only when you open My Documents or My Pictures or
does it happen when accessing other folders?

Hi Allan ... help...this is making me crazy

No I haven't saved any web pages. I've been searching the net for an answer to this but I haven't found anything yet. It looks real but when I click "Forgot Password" (just to see where it will take me) I'm actually directed to Microsoft. gah. What the heck is this? I have a screen shot...just have to figure out how to post it here.....
Thanks for getting back to me. Has anyone else had this issue?

By the way, it only appears when accessing any folder within My Documents
