Most annoying thing - Prompts for credentials a bunch of times...

The below was found by my friend Chris Weinert... Here is the solution in his own words....
On Windows 7 (Sysmex domain), when you open a Visio document from SharePoint, do you get prompted for credentials a bunch of times? Does the document open even if you cancel out of the dialogs?

Open up a Visio diagram, or one of the HR New Hire/Term forms (InfoPath)….no more prompts!!

Enjoy.
