Windows Live Hotmail - Set Password

Options
I access emails via Windows Live Hotmail, and I have 2 email accounts.

However, when I go into Windows Live Hotmail to log-in, the Sign-In page shows both email accounts (so I can select which email account I want to open), and when I do click on the hyperlink of one of the accounts I'm taken straight to my email account, without asking for the password. The obvious danger of this is, that should my Laptop be stolen then a 3rd party has access to my emails.:eek: :eek: :eek:

I've looked to see how I can set Windows Live Hotmail to require the password to entered each time I open an email account, but can't find how to do it ....... it must be there somewhere!! So how do you do it??:o :o
It has taken about 4,500,000,000 (4.5 billion) years for the Earth to form as it is now .........
and it'll only take about another 100 years for mankind to really **** it up!!!!

    Deleted the 'Cookies' and whilst I was there I deleted the 'Passwords' as well, but to no avail :o:o

    On the login page where you can see both accounts, there should be a "Forget me" underneath each one.

    Click on it and it will forget the account so you login with your e-mail address and password next time. When you do that, don't click on "remember me."
