Yes, my new e-mail is a Windows Live ID account. I can't reply to this,
without having to type my e-mail and pass word. Windows Help, leads me to
this page, so I'm assuming it's how a person reaches it!
What you are calling a "page" is actually not a page, or a web site at
all. It's a newsgroup. You are accessing this newsgroup through the
awful microsoft web-based interface to it, rather than the normal way
of using a newsreader.

If I'm not supposed
to reach this page by this route, why has Windows Help led me to it?
Because Microsoft believes that their web-based interface is the best,
or easiest, way to get to their newsgroups. I, and most experienced
users of these newsgroups, strenuously disagree, and strongly
recommend you use a newsreader instead. You will find it to be a much
better experience.
Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook
Express, which comes with Windows. See

I
suppose I click on the links and see where that leads me. No wonder friends
tell me to buy a MACC!
Your choice entirely.
