Once you select the Facebook option, a confirmation window will appear. In this window there will be two panes, on the right side you will see an introduction about Facebook and various options like signing up and more. But for now we will not be working on the right side. On the left side you will see Connect Facebook to Windows Live which will deal with all the Hotmail Messenger and Facebook connection configuration. This is the pane where we will be working. So here you will see a number of options to customize the Hotmail Messenger connection with the Facebook.
By default all these options are selected but you can always customize the configuration by unselecting any of these options. Now after you are done with the configuration of your choice, you will click the Connect with Facebook option if you are willing to continue or else select Cancel.
