Well, like I said I never had the issue of being prompted for a user/pass with my windows settings(...my problem was that my smb sharing on my xbox through xbmc was not seeing anything when I looked(...or gave me an error), but I figured it out through some manual IP/Gateway/DNS settings on both PC and xbox...

But through my search to fix my problem I saw your problem was very popular and could provide some suggestions...

What folder did you share...directory?...Because for me I shared a folder on the desktop, but the share directory for me was NAME-PC\Users\Name\Desktop\Folder...and it said my folder was shared, but I noticed that the Users folder had a lock over it...so make sure there isn't a road block hidden some where, Win7 seems weird like that...

Another popular solution was to create a windows account named xbox password xbox given full permission sharing...and then use said user/pass when prompted...

The uninstall of the Windows Live Sign In Assistant was the most popular fix for your problem, some people I think even installed it then uninstalled it to fix their problem

EDIT: This was also the second most popular fix...
