Thanks Neil. I thought that I had the box unchecked, but... It was checked when I investigated after the update, but again...I don't like things happening when I haven't made the decision myself. However, I ought to be used to computers by now.
I have an icon on the desktop for Live Mail and there is one as you say, in the start menu. I am just annoyed that the one in the top task bar has disappeared.
