I miss being able to search within files on Skydrive. I remember last spring when I could log into Skydrive, immediately go to the search (without opening any file) and type, for example, "apache server" and it would show all .docx, .xlsx and .pptx files that contained that string.  I really, really miss this feature.  Any plans on bringing it back to Skydrive?

Since I am unable to change my primaily alias for some reason, I've been told I need to make a new account to have my prefered alias. I've been a account holder since around when Skydrive came out and have the free 25GB, if I make a new account and have this one closed can my limit be moved to my new account?
A secondary account that I started last year has become inaccessible to me after the loss of the linked accounts feature. There are several problems between me and regaining access to my account.

Problem 1: The account is relatively new and very little used, thus I do not have enough information to fill out the data questionnaire satisfactorily.

Problem 2: The email set on the account to send the reset code to is wrong and resisted all efforts to change it when I still had access to the account before linking was disabled.

Problem 3: I lodged a support ticket a few weeks ago, but when I got a response and a link to follow to start help, it would not let me in. It said '[my email] is not permitted to view this incident' even though it was the same email who lodged the ticket.

Problem 4: A moderator has attempted to help me via the PM feature on here, but the thread was locked and I can no longer respond.
A hacker has been in my system for a month or more. He has been changing passwords and changing my email accounts to mh hotmail account. I keep changing it back but somehow he gets in and does it again. My sister says he has a keystroke program loaded in my computer. I have decided to use my iPad. Today I changed settings and my name on my hotmail account as well as the code. This caused the account to lock up. Now when I go to log in it says to cancel the changes or I have to wait 30 days to log in to the account. Is there a solution to this or do I wait the 30 days?

My account seems to have been hacked around 18.06 this evening.  Most infuriatingly, when I followed the instructions and attempted to reset my password it only gave me the option of sending a 'code' to an account that is not mine which was literally: "mi*****@hotmail.com" or forcing me to choose 'I cannot verify my account.' 

 

When I've tried to fill out the form to verify my account it said I hadn't provided enough details, I've tried a few times as I have moved etc in recent years so I can't remember what address etc is set up on my account.  Now I have a message saying "We've received too many requests to recover this account today. (We have a limit to help keep your account safe.) Please try again in 24 hours."  

 

 I am shocked to then find that there is no contact number.   I am not pleased as I have many important and work related emails that I need to access and I can't understand what's happened, or why it's such an issue to try and resolve it.  Please can you help me regain access to my account as soon as possible. 

 

Please note I had to log in through another account in order to be able to post this msg, so the account I've written this from is not the account that I cannot (but urgently wish to) access.

My assigned 'security' code is not working at log in.  Will we still be able to log-in with our own passwords since this is not working????  Getting warnings that i only have 2 days left,,,,,,, Help pls :)

hi

I have been struggling with the plagues of microsoft authentification automated services in order to get back in my account *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. I created it in the 90s, it has all my life and current business yet microsoft shamelessly wants me to create another box. 

I tried the pass reset and a bunch of forums and phone calls.

When I created that mailbox I gave bogus personal info as not to be spied on, thus the automated identification fails: wrong phone, birthdate and abreviated name. It would be very easy to verify over the phone the content of my box it someone was willing to take the matter into hands: 310 666 1110.

Please pass this onto a manager or the manager's manager, thx
