Not necessarily so...
In WLM/WLMsgr ...the contacts reside in two places...
a. Web(contacts.live.com) for a Live ID
b. Local(Windows Live hidden folder) same folder used for WLM and WLMsgr with different subfolders for a Live ID or the default
account.
Since WLMsgr requires a Live ID then WLM would sync during sign-in with the web(a), then locally update (b).
WLMsgr does not require a Hotmail account only an email address registered as a third party Live ID.
Thus windowslivehelp.com(Hotmail) may not be the best source if ID related...it might be better to start with:
Windows Live ID Support
https://support.live.com/eform.aspx?...lid&ct=eformts https://account.live.com/helpcentral...=en-us&lc=1033
1. Scroll to and click on 'How can I reset my password' or click any item in the Faq list
2. Look in the lower right and click on the option 'Get More Help'
3. Wait till the page loads, then click on 'Get Support'
- the eform should now load
