I'm not sure what directions you followed on the web - but I'm
*guessing* that the passwords and encryptions setup is automatically
unencrypting and reencrypting that folder for you when you log in.  If
you poke around in it you should be able to remove the auto feature
from that folder...  or manually change the associated password and
never tell it what the password is.

I know I'm being hazy here, but I'm hoping it's a pointer in the right
direction.
