Need Some Help With Msn Explorer.

[shkspeare]

Hey,

I have a non-hotmail/msn account which I got a passport for. I can sign in fine to MSN Messenger using the account, however, I cannot sign-in to MSN explorer with the same account because when I add new user, there are only three options -- 'I already have a @hotmail.com account', 'I already have a @msn.com account', 'Create a new account'

Now, that's my problem, it's none of those, but I have a passport. When I try 'guest sign-in', the editbox has "For example: name@domain.com" and another editbox for password. I entered my email address -- x@y.com[that's an example, duh] and then the password. It keeps repeating "We cannot sign you in.." -- something along those lengths. Is there any other way to sign-in to MSN explorer using a non hotmail/msn account? if there is, please help, thank you.

seeing as it works .. i'll post for ppl with no hotmail accounts

paste this in notepad and name it whateva.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSN6\Users\user@server.com]

of course change user@server.com to what ur email is

save it

and double click it to put in ur registry

enjoy

It worked!

Thanks a lot

Anyone going to use this, be warned that it does erase your old MSN explorer favorites.
