An easier way to get to your Hotmail Log-In page is to save the Hotmail
Log-In page as a Favorite and you won't have to type anything. To do this,
go to the Log-In page, click on Favorites at the top of your screen, then
click on "Add to Favorites." If you would like to change the name of the
page that is in the box that opens, type "Hotmail Log-In," or something
similar. This is also called bookmarking. The address of a page is also
called its url.

Whenever you want to go to your Hotmail Log-In page, click on Favorites and
then click on the name that you accepted or typed as the Hotmail Log-In page.
