Thanks Vince... my input back to Jacob as well. Nope, this laptop is running good old Win2K, so I don't believe MS Messenger is even installed. (I don't see it in "My Programs" anywhere). Very frustrating... I just leave the stupid prompt up all day long, because closing it just makes another one come back again. Quite often it seems to pop up when ever I am opening a file directory in any application. For example if I am going to save or open a file and the application launches the window where you can select where you want to save or open it, this prompt pops up too. This is the best link I can think of, however I do know that it has popped up without going into a file manager window. Also, this is not a "popup" in the sense of a browser popup. It is just a Windows "window" or application window that opens all the time.
Thanks for offering to help. I have actually been living with this for months, but today it seemed worse so I was determined to search the web for help.

He's running W2K, so Windows Mess. shouldn' be an issue. Hmm. Now that I think about it.. In W2K that shouldn't be an issue either. Hmmm Either he's running XP. Or there's a process in the background he installed somehow. -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TOM Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 9:24 AM To: ADVANCED-DOTNET@DISCUSS.DEVELOP.COM Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Help.. disabling "Sign In with Microsoft Passport .NET Network" I was searching the Microsoft website on how to disable a prompt that keeps coming up on my W2K PC every 10 mintues or so wanting me to sign in to my Microsoft Passport account. This window or promt pops up even when I don't have MS IE Explorer running. I don't think I joined the right forum, but maybe someone can help. Although I have a hotmail email address, I don't have Microsoft Money nor plan on needing to log on to my Microsoft Passport account. My computer that is doing this is my work laptop. I think this may have started when I visited the msn Money Central web site. I tried removing all cookies and that did not help? Anyone know how to disable this prompt that keeps coming up. Right now my solution is to just let the popup prompt come up and just leave it there behind my other applications all day. If I close the window, it just comes back in a few minutes.
