The folders are on both web and on My PC, I would like to password protect both of them, or at least whenever i let my computer goes idle and my e-mail web page is open, it asks for the passwords in specific time, i guess this feature is not provided on live mail, I remember when using yahoo, it asks for retyping your password every couple mins... So How will I do that?

In case there was no solution to this, Could there be away to delete the cookies of the Live mail signed in e-mail?

I haven't been able to find a way to force the Windows Live to Sign Out automatically.
It looks like currently you'll need to hit that Sign Out if you're going to walk away from your computer or at the very least, set your screensaver to Resume with Password
To protect your files by using a screen saver password
1.Open Display in Control Panel.
2.On the Screen Saver tab under Screen saver, click a screen saver
3.Select the On resume, password protect check box.

If Fast User Switching is turned on, select the On resume, display Welcome screen check box.

Note
•      To open Display, click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.
•      Selecting the On Resume, password protect check box will lock your computer when the screen saver is activated. When you begin working again you will be prompted to type your password to unlock it.
•      Your screen saver password is the same as your logon password. If you do not use a password to log on, you cannot set a screen saver password.
•      Fast User Switching is only available for stand-alone computers and users in a workgroup. It is not available if your computer is part of a network domain.

Sorry,  I don't have access to any Vista computers, but is there an option (maybe Preferences, Options, or Settings) within WLMD to change your file location, or search through your Documents & Settings folders.  I'm not positive how Vista has changed it's File/folder structure.

A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
