Access to the resource was denied with Cal shares and Win Live IDs

[Graham Martin]

My company is using fully patched XP
machines (SP3 plus all the critical updates.) We are sharing
calendars using the "Publish to Office Online" with Outlook 2007,
fully patched. We all created Windows Live IDs for this purpose and
some of us are now getting the error:

“Access to the resource was denied. If you have signed in to and saved
your Windows Live ID with a Web site, sign out of that Web site, and
then try this operation again.â€

Googling that error finds one or two threads on the internet about it but
they are all Vista-Centric.

I have logged out of messenger and any online website that I was aware
that I had POSSIBLY signed into using my Windows Live ID and I still
get the error.

(Even if that was a workaround, it is ridiculous.)

An internet poster mentioned the C:\Documents and Settings\[your
username]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files directory. I assume
that there are certain files to be deleted in there? I blew all of
mine away just now and will see if that fixes it. I would prefer to
know which file in particular should be deleted so I can create a
little script for people to run to fix this issue when it pops up
again.

Any word on a good workaround and when this will be fixed? Come on
Microsoft! You tout this feature and then it just plain doesn't work. No
ifs ands or buts... It doesn't work!

It's usually caused by a cookie that saves the password for the live acct.
Or in the user acct settings (control panel) - the password is saved with
the passport/live id. We recommend never saving the passwords for
passport/live id access to websites (it seems to be ok for messenger).
