I had, and still have, a Windows Live Mail account.  I can go straight to the account by clicking on the icon on the taskbar - I don't have to sign in and give my password. 

I have recently opened an Outlook.com mail account, which I prefer.  However, every time I click on the icon on the desktop, I have to sign in and give my password in order to get to the account.   Is there any way of avoiding this?
