Matt,

Try this:

Start>Run then type "mmc" with out the quotes.

You will probably get a UAC prompt - give it permission. If you have
never
worked in the console you will have nothing but an empty screen for
now. Go
to File>Add/Remove Snap-In and select that.

Find the snap in called Local Users and Groups and select it and then
Add it
to the box on the right. You should get a prompt to verify you want to
use
accounts on the local computer - choose local.

Then once your in the console click on the Local Users and Groups and
then
select the Users folder. Find your username there and right click to
select
Properties.

Put a check mark in the box that says Password Never Expires and then
OK
yourself all the way out and close the console.

You should not get prompted anymore.

Hope this helps.
