Hotmail

[Johnny W]

I just purchased a new system with windows Vista. On the Hotmail sign in
window it only shows one email address. We have 2 email addresses and have
signed in with both. Each time we go to Hotmail to sign in, if other person
signed in last, we have to key in email address . With windows XP it showed
both email addresses and all we had to do is click on the one we need. Thanks
for any help.

For you to get what you want, you will have to set up 2 user accounts on your
computer.
Hotmail has ALWAYS only allowed one person to sign in at a time.

So, set up the 2 user accounts of Vista, and have hotmail setup in each
account!

The Content tab of Internet Options has some settings that may help,
depending on how you signin. One workaround is to write a signin script for
the Hotmail page. (This script has a plain text password, so it needs to be
encripted)

--my hotmail script.vbs--
hotmail_id = "(e-mail address removed)"
mypassword = "password_goes_here"
howlong=0
set wshell=createobject("wscript.shell")
set shell=createobject("shell.application")
while Not wshell.appactivate("Sign In")
wscript.sleep 1000
howlong=howlong + 1
if howlong > 10 then
wscript.quit
end if
wend
looking = true
while looking
set wins = shell.Windows()
for i = 0 To wins.Count - 1
set handle = wins.Item(i)
if not handle is nothing then
if handle.locationname = "Sign In" then
set win = handle
looking = false
end if
end if
next
wend
looking=true
while looking
set anchors = win.document.getelementsbytagname("input")
for each anchor in anchors
if anchor.id="i0116" then
anchor.value= hotmail_id
next
for each anchor in anchors
if anchor.type="password" then
anchor.value=mypassword
looking=false
end if
next
wscript.sleep 1000
wend
win.document.all("f1").submit()
--end file--

I don't think anyone understands my question or problem. If you would just go
to WWW.hotmail.com you would understand. On the left it says welcome to
windows live hotmail and sign up if not signed up. On right it shows your
email address if you have one. We have 2 email accounts and in windows XP it
showed both accounts on right of page. To sign in to hotmail all we had to do
is click account we wanted to sign into. Windows Vista only shows one account
and no picture with it. Thanks for all your help.

The Windows Live (nee Hotmail) site has apparently changed.
You can now link multiple Live ID accounts, and use one of them to login,
then you can switch between them.
After you login, click on your email address on the right side, to select.
