Just installed Windows 8.1. Under Windows 8.0, I had a link to my SkyDrive under Favorites in File Explorer. That link is gone and I can't seem to get it back. Note that I am using a local log on to my computer--I do this because my Hotmail/SkyDrive password is long and cryptic (and only I have it), more robust than I need for my family's routine access to the PC. Seems that the only way I can get to SkyDrive now is through Internet Explorer, which takes away the functionality of opening and closing files directly through File Explorer. How can I get my SkyDrive link back to the way it was before?
After logging into my Hotmail or outlook accounts Internet Explorer stops working.

When I used to start my computer and hit internet explorer, it would go directly to microsoft outlook. Now it doesnt. How can I get it back?

 

Thanks

When I receive an email with an attachment it comes as a zipped file. If I try to open it a dialogue box pops up that says

View Downloads -  Windows Internet Explorer, then I click on open and the same box keeps flashing. Outlook has gone downhill

Unable to open email messages in Outlook.com using the Internet Explorer 11 Preview. I click on the message and nothing happens. Is anyone one else having this problem?


Thanks,

Yet another example of how Microsoft is going backwards in functionality and stability.  Rather than improving a system that worked in spite of a few flaws, they decided to completely redesign everything to make the GUI horrible to look at, the workflow more convoluted than before, and add several new stability issues to the original flaws, which BTW still exist.

 

Having said that, is there any way to recover Hotmail (Outlook, whatever) after designating an email as Junk?  Whenever I click the "Junk" button, the email is moved into the Junk folder, as it should, and the screen returns to the Inbox list, which is fine.  But from that point on in the session, clicking on an email does NOT open the email.  It marks it as "Read", but does not actually show it.  This is obviously due to a linkage error in the code, which is part of the complaint in the first paragraph.  So many "features" were added by unskilled programmers who do not follow up on how their feature case effects the rest of the system. 

 

Apparently the only way to resolve this issue is to close Internet Explorer and log back in.  It's bad enough that I now hove to log off and log back in for each of my email addresses (again going back to the notion of Microsoft software going backwards in functionality and stability), but I also have to shutdown Internet Explorer and restart, then log back in every time I designate an email as "Junk".  And with all of the junk that Hotmail allows slip through, that's a lot of wasted effort.  But I guess Microsoft knows a lot about that subject.

 

The irony is, as someone here at work showed me, this issue doesn't occur in Chrome.   Hmm.  So this is an Internet Explorer issue?  Well maybe I should be blaming the company that makes Internet Explo-    oooooh, that's right.  It's the same company.  Interesting how Microsoft can't even make stable software that works with OTHER software which they make themselves!  Looks like Google at least knows how to make stable software.   Perhaps I should just make a gmail account.

I can’t attach any file in Hotmail o gmail on Internet Explorer 10. (V.10.0.920016721)

After try to attach a file appear a dialog box saying: Internet Explorer has Stopped Working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

After that I went to Internet Explorer>Tools>Internet Options>Advance:

1.       Restore advance settings, after that I click the buton 2. Reset Internet Explorer’s Settings to their default condition.

2.       And still doesn´t work.

After that I went to Control panel>Programs>Programs and Features>Turn windows features on or off> uncheck the box of Internet Explorer to deactivate.> and restart the computer.

After that, I went to the same dialog box to turn on the internet explorer 10 on windows features…. And still doesn´t work.

I really don´t know what to do!

But I can attach very well any file on firefox, chrome or safari. And I have all updates availables.

That all I know to try to fix the problem, Can anybody help me? PLEASE !

Please help. Do I go to Hotmail for help or Internet Explorer?
