Re: Help with Hotmail....

there is no way to change the position
and the only way to get rid of it completly is to subscribe to the premium Hotmail Plus service
Windows Live Hotmail Plus

If you're using Firefox download the add in "Adblock Plus", will sort it out for you no problem. Remember to white list this site though

Re: Help with Hotmail....

Another approach is to download and install Windows Live Mail, and configure it to access your Hotmail account (it is just an Outlook Express type email client). That way, you never have to look at another banner advert again.

Re: Help with Hotmail....

You can use POP3/SMTP with any Hotmail™ account now, so just use your regular mail client.
