    My computer now forces me to use my Microsoft phone to unlock it when it starts. I changed it to local user but it still wants a password. Since this is the shared family computer I don't need or want a password for when it starts. How do I remove this? Thanks.

  2. Use Outlook (desktop) for sharing

    Various apps in Window 10 have an option for "sharing", e.g. Money, Edge, etc. However, I want to use Outlook (desktop app, version 2013) instead of Mail for this. Does anyone know how to do this? I've made sure Outlook as all of its default settings and
    I've confirmed that Outlook is listed in Settings as the default mail app.

    Thanks!

    Outlook Web Access

    I was sent an email with a link to my companys email system. Clicking on the link worked fine. It opened up a window, asked for my pw, then a 'Outlook Web Access' window poped up with my new company email account. Fine.

    Now... When I restarted my system, the pw window pops , then the 'Web Access' window opens (with my desktop icon's over laying it) and I can't close it.

    How do I get shut this auto startup off?

    How to install outlook express on windows xp with explorer 8?

    This is an awkward problem to solve and one I don't think is worth the time and effort.

    The OP would be better off either using a modern webmail service like gmail or outlook.com or using a modern email client like Windows Live Mail like FX-GMC suggested or Thunderbird from Mozilla. If nothing else, Outlook Distress was notorious for corrupting its data files and losing all your email in one easy step. Not worth it.
