    Before you can set up an email account in the Windows Mail email program
    you must obtain an email address. Your mention of "Windows Live"
    is not clear. Does that mean you obtained an email address from
    http://mail.live.com, or that you are using the Windows Live Mail email program?
    If you have obtained a Live.com or Hotmail.com email address, follow these
    directions for setting that account up in your email program:

    If you run into a problem, write back and let us know at what point you are stuck.

    You can use Windows to copy files between computers that are connected to
    the same network. If both computers are not connected to the same network,
    you will not be able to follow these steps and will have to copy files using
    some sort of removable media that can be read by both computers.

    You must know the name of the computer where you want to copy the files. If
    you don't know this name, ask someone who uses that computer, or go to the
    other computer yourself and look it up (if you need them, the steps for
    looking up a computer name are provided in the notes section later in this
    Help topic).

    1.. On the computer that contains the files you want to copy, click the
    Start button . In the Search box, type two backslashes (\\) followed by the
    name of the computer to which you want to copy the files (for example,
    \\mylaptop), and then press live that they want i am so confused.
