How did my facebook profile image appear as my login picture for window 7?

I have no idea how it happened, but I leave my work computer on 24/7 and remote desktop into it from home however today when I walked into the office to login the picture next to my login named changed... I know in the past like XP it somehow connects with MSN messenger and notified you of pending e-mails... is facebook somehow doing the same thing or have i been hacked?

Log in to Facebook and set your permissions, go to MSN and set the permissions on sharing. Also, if it's doing all that, it's probably posting your questions on Yahoo Answers to Facebook, too, until you tell it not to.
