How, when I sign out of Hotmail (MSN), sign back in with a different account, and click on Hotmail, can I get it to open in the same tab (or at least same window) instead of in a new window?

Under options I've checked "Open new windows in a new tab instead." Yet often when I must sign back into Hotmail, it opens in a new window. I would prefer that it open in the MSN sign-in tab or at least in the same window, but am not given a choice. If there is no way to control that, can I move tabs from one window to another window?

Thanks. I read the article but don't understand whether or not I can change the preference with regard to Hotmail.
