Getting hotmail to remember 2 account details

scw1

Our computer went into PC World to have a health check and came back 3 days later and they have had to reset it to its original settings as there was a problem. After 2 days we have managed to get most things back and uploaded the extras we have had but we have a problem with the computer remembering the passwords etc. Wondering if anyone can help?

We had it before so our computer remembered both mine and my husband's hotmail accounts so we litterally just clicked to sign in and it would sign in automatically and every week we would have to reenter password to confirm.

Now it will only remember 1 account and never the password just the email address. Any ideas how to change this? Its microsoft internet explorer 8 if that makes a difference????

Thanks Sam

I'm curious - why did you take it there in the first place, and how much did they charge you for the 'health check' ?

It was free, well we pay £2 a month for their technical service although this was cancelled this month. We got roped into buying it tbh.

So did you think there was anything wrong with it before you took it in to them?

It was slower than you would expect but nothing major. They have been pestering us for the past 6 months to take it in for this "health check" but we havent had time tbh. Apparently it had to be reset because when windows was installed originally it wasnt done properly and there was a problem with the user name which meant that they virus scan stuff they use wasnt being able to run on the pc and the only way to solve it was to scrap everything on it and start from scratch and reinstal windows (which they done).

At best, they're lazy, at worst just plain dumb. Most of us would prefer to fix a problem than re-install and OS, partly because a re-install is often an easy cop-out, and partly to save the PITA that is re-configuring a PC and restoring backed up data.

I've got this problem too and it's REALLY annoying!!! I've tried all the searchs and cannot find a way to keep 2 accounts on the front page. It used to be so easy as the OP states - just click but now you have to log in and log out to other accounts!
Does anyone know the answer?

I agree, I will investigate the problem for at least 2 hours before asking the owner permission to reset there pc after saving out there data first. Would love to have a 100 peeps paying me £2 a month mmmmm seems easy money to me.
