Get to your Hotmail faster
The most efficient email just got even better. With Internet Explorer 9, you can pin Hotmail to the taskbar in Windows 7 and take advantage of Hotmail’s Jump List.
Now your email is one click away.
Pin Hotmail to your taskbar
It only takes a few seconds to pin Windows Live Hotmail to the taskbar in Windows 7.
Just click the Hotmail icon in the Address bar and drag it to the taskbar—that’s it! Now, when you're signed in to Hotmail,
you can open it in one click without first having to open your browser. And the Jump List lets you get straight to your calendar and contacts,
or you can start writing a new email, all in just a click.
Pure all-around fast!
Performance improvements in Internet Explorer 9 help make Hotmail a faster way to do email. Opening your inbox,
viewing photos and videos friends send you, checking dates on your calendar, and updating contact info—everything's faster, giving you more time to get other things done.
Even safer and more secure
Whether it’s a link in email that appears to be from your bank, fake notifications from social networking sites,
search results for popular content, or malicious advertisements—you name it, someone’s trying it. With Microsoft SmartScreen technology,
built-in to Internet Explorer 9 and Hotmail, you can check your mail and browse the web with more confidence,
knowing you have better protection if you’re targeted by one of these types of attacks.
