At some point signing out of Outlook started redirecting to MSN. This is really frustrating - especially when accidently clicking anywhere on the screen that is NOT the login field causes the login form to disappear.

How do I disable this redirect? I would like to see the outlook login page when I sign out - not the MSN news page.

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Settings

    I have similar issues to some of the above posters. It is frustrating to have no control of the page you are directed to when logging out of Hotmail. The MSN homepages are in my opinion very poor journalism, full of sensationalism and unbalanced gossip. As a Christian I actually find the content very offensive.

    To make matters worse, I am now redirected to MSN (USA) even though I live in England, making the content even less useful that it was before.

    I am going to use one of the software solutions suggested by a poster earlier, but just wanted to express to Microsoft how dissatisfied I am with this problem.

    Yeah, I mentioned a host file "enhancer", it takes over the host file so it's not really using the OS hostfile.

    Here you go, Redirector, you can install it if you decide you want to use it.

    Hi Marco,

    clearing the cache has had 0 change for FF. I am still getting a Javascript error when trying to choose the ninemsn.com.au option.

    I look forward to a fix.
