I hope I'm not the only one who knows this :(  But I was surprised that a few people send me feedbacks last week through http://sympatico.msn.ca that they want a faster login system in Hotmail (without the need of typing the entire address / pw every time).

So here's what you need to do:

1) Install Windows Live Sign-in assistant.  Currently this binary is distributed through the latest WL Messenger.  [I realize this is not the right behavior, I mean, installing something packaged with messenger that would change the behavior for Hotmail, but I'm working with the team to address this..]

2) Make sure the option to "Install Windows Live Sign-in Assistant" is checked

3) Use http://mail.live.com instead of http://www.hotmail.com

4) Check "Remember on this computer", and depending on your choice, I also check "Remember my password" (Only do this on your private computer with a dedicated account for yourself!)

5) Click on Login

6) If you have more than 1 accounts, log out of hotmail, go back to http://mail.live.com, click on "Sign in with a different account".  Repeat the same procedure again for the other accounts

7) After you have done all these, you'll see all the accounts you've entered in mail.live.com:

8) Now, if you've checked 'remember my password', just click on any account name and you'll be in the inbox within 1 click!

9) If you don't want it to remember you anymore, simply click on "Forget me" under your name.

Thats' it, then you can log into your hotmail accounts without any hassle.
