Hi,

is it possible to set password in Windows Live Mail, because my PC is shared
with several people?
I know it is able to set password in Outlook, looks like there is no such
option in Windows Live Mail?

Rgds!

No it's not possible. The log in that you see in Windows Live Mail is
for signing in to the web services for syncing your calendar, contacts
and so forth. The best thing to do is to password protect your user
account, then set up a separate user account for the other people who
use the computer also.

Nope.

This is what user accounts are for. If the PC is shared, set up different
user accounts and password-protect them.

If you need to share documents, simply set up a shared folder somewhere.
Otherwise, setting up user accounts will require you to move documents to
the new users (and the new user folders won't be created until you log into
the new user account) but this shouldn't take long.

There is no real need to set up a shared folder as one already exists,
it's the Shared Documents folder in XP, and the Public folder in
Vista/Windows 7.

By "set up", I include "agree on using a specific location".
