Windows Mail is pretty similar to OE to set up, I assume you've followed this guide. Just remember NOT to tick the box that says "My Outgoing Server Requires Authentication"
I can't think of any other reasons why you should be getting a user name /password dialog. I'm running Vista and didn't encounter that problem!
Anyone else have any ideas?

Check that the username for the Metronet mail account is the bit before @metronet.co.uk in the e-mail address and NOT the bit before @dsl2.net or @metro2.net for the ADSL account login.
@orbrey
The OP is using a Metronet account - should the servers not be:
mail.metronet.co.uk & smtp.metronet.co.uk

Have you tried right clicking on Windows Mail and then "Run as Administrator"?
Does the problem still exist if you do that?
