Because it shouldn't. The file is on the website, you
open it and close it (not making any changes) and bam it
asks for a username / password, after you have closed the
word file. It ONLY does it on Word, nothing else.

I have been playing with a test server and it seems to
possibly be a bug with doing a share on a folder located
in the wwwroot folder... sigh... why oh why does
Microsoft file system rights have to be such a pain?

Anywhoo, I'm doing some more testing tomorrow.
