    RSS Feed Update Frequency - why can't this be changed?

    According to the help
    http://help.live.com/help.aspx?mkt=e...rytype=&query=

    I should see Manage Feeds and be able to Right Click a feed and Choose Edit
    Feed to change the update frequency... neither of these options exist.



    I downloaded Live and installed Mail only yesterday. The version of Windows
    Live Essentials showing in Programs and Features (Add Remove Programs) shows
    14.0.8089.0726.

    I'm running Win7.

    I'd really like to be able to set some of my RSS feeds to update more
    frequently than every 24 hours.

    Are the feeds present in Internet Explorer ?

    To access Feeds press Control Shift K or from the WLM Menu select Go/Feeds

    If I right click a feed and select Manage Feed a dialog box pops up with an option to configure the update frequence for all Feeds.
    If I then click a feed in the dialog box(you may see 2 for each feed, click the second) the 'Edit Feed' option becomes available -
    clicking on 'Edit feed' provides additional configuration options(custom/update/frequency) unique for that specific feed

    In IE, go to Tools - Internet Options - Content - Feeds and Web Slices
    "Settings". The more frequent are 15 and 30 minute updates.
