| Guest | Mail Shortcut I would like for the mail shortcut on the tool bar, the one that looks like a small envelope, to go to my log on page for hotmail. I had it set to do that with XP, by making hotmail my default e-mail program under "tools" "internet options" "programs". In Vista I can only seem find options to configure my defaut e-mail program to be winows mail. Can I set that short cut to open a new IE window at the page to sign into hotmail? How? |

Since you have a Hotmail account, you might consider using Windows Live Mail (WLM) instead of Windows Mail. It supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. Plus, WLM will minimize to a tray bar icon and has a separate Inbox for each email account. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported from within WLM. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.) To see the Menu bar, press ALT+M and check "Show all menus". You will then be able to click on the Email icon in IE7 to open Windows Live Mail instead and see your Hotmail email. Windows Live Suite Downloads Shawn |
