slim.tall.mike Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Hi there Why do I have to have a Windows Live profile? Can't I just have an email address and msn, just like I signed up for? The problem I have is that I only look at my emails at work, which should be fine, until I suddenly notice that one of my contacts has decided to add a picture of their ass (or worse) or just basically a picture Id rather not have on my screen should a colleague walk by!!! I've looked all over the place to remove my profile, but Windows seem to think this is a good thing and that we need it (as if Facebook wasn't enough)! Help please, this is annoying!!!

Phenom II Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yea I hate the whole network part of it too I just painstakingly go through every single setting on the site and remove everyone from the network and share nothing Still leaves the email contacts but removes all the social boll0cks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/934724-i-dont-wantneed-a-windows-live-profile/#findComment-593102556 Share on other sites More sharing options...

brentaal Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 You can disable most of those social features in your account settings, and I'm pretty sure you can make your profile inaccessible for everyone.

_neutrino Veteran Posted September 2, 2010 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2010 If you only use it for email then download windows live mail and you do not have to worry about any of the social part any longer.

+Nik Louch Subscriber² Posted September 2, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted September 2, 2010 personally I think it should be disabled as default The agenda is to push more people onto their platform, so that won't ever happen...
