me for password, its ok, but even if a click cancel he still open and showing
all my accounts.
Its any way of to set this up for do not let it open if I do not enter a
password?

No. The password request you see when WLM starts up is not meant
to control access. It is a Live ID login that makes syncing with the
contacts in a Hotmail account possible.

If you have privacy concerns, use a password protected Windows user
account, and when you are finished using the computer, press Winkey+L.

I was running Windows Live Mail 14 fine, but then clicked 'sign in' (in the top right corner) - now it always prompts me for Windows Live password everytime I open WLM. I dont have one and dont want one - how do I stop it prompting me for one?

Thanks

I found it!
Big button that says 'Stop Signing in'

Thanks for reporting back.

Many don't use a Live ID at signon and certainly that is your preference. When not using a Live ID at signon WLM uses the 'Default
Contacts'.

If you do use all the available contact fields in WLM without a signon it may be important to recognize that all available fields
for use in WLM's Contact manager(e.g. work email, other email) do not export or import to a csv file. Thus if you do have to import
into the same system or another system at a later time, then those fields(and others not included in an import/export) will require
reentry.

The only way around this is use of a Live ID and exporting/importing the contacts in the web interface(contacts.live.com)which
requires the use of a Live ID. Once the Contacts are in a Live ID and sync'd with WLM, the contact file(a single database file
contact.edb) can then be copied to the Default Contact database store.
