I have recently moved to the above, using a Hotmail account. By and large it works quite well but security is a problem.

On selecting WLM on the desktop, the WLM screen appears and so does a log-in screen

stating "Sign in to Windows Live Mail", also automatically included is my e-mail address and a password box. Without entering a password, I can close the log-in box and go straight into WLM and begin e-mailing. This must be wrong.

Can anyone guide me as to how I can remove my automatically entered e-mail address and ensure that I must enter my password to provide the necessary security. My limited knowledge has been exhausted and I cannot see a way.

If I use the Outlook set up, I must enter both my e-mail and its associated password. the opposite to WLM.

Many thanks for any advice.
