SQL Server 2005 Error

 Why would I get an SQL Server 2005 Error on a page when I'm not even trying to connect to an SQL database anywhere in my code?  I'm using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express.  I have no App_Data folder, nor do I need one because I'm not using a database.

Error:

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to
the server.  When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be
caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not
allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26
- Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)


Description: An
unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web
request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the
error and where it originated in the code.



SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:


The
connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a
database location within the applications App_Data directory. The
provider attempted to automatically create the application services
database because the provider determined that the database does not
exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to
successfully check for existence of the application services database
and automatically create the application services database:

If
the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web
server account must have read and write access to the applications
directory. This is necessary because the web server account will
automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already
exist.
If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web
server account only requires read and write access to the applications
App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account
will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already
exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access
on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the
provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database
already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to
create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is
required because the web server accounts credentials are used when
creating the new database.
Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
The process identity for the web server account must have a local
user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a
local user profile for both machine and domain accounts.
