Thank you both for your prompt replies. I'll fill in (next time) the required boxes 'Alternative email address' but I'm not too keen with the 'phone number' requirement entry, might just put some 'off the top of my head' number in. With any luck, this window will not show for future logins on hotmail.
Best wishes
Daz
