Hotmail Login redirection with php?

Hi everyone!, thanks in advance for reading this post :D

I have a page where a user xxx can join, registering info including his hotmail account's user/passwd.
I am planning to implement a link that redirects to his hotmail account BUT already logged in (passing the user and password they previously entered when they registered, like 'skipping' the logon page from hotmail). I don't need to implement any webmail client based on a hotmail account, just redirect the user to hotmail page (but already logged in according to the credentials he supplied earlier).

Is there any way to pass the hotmail account's user and password (previously entered when they registered to my page) by user xxx to the hotmail login page so that he doesn't need to type his user and password again?

Thanks again!!! Any advice is greatly appreciated :D!!

I'm not entirely sure how MS handles these types of requests, but I do know they have an integrated solution that shares the windows/messenger user login with an embedded solution on your end. I do not know if it will require a login twice, or only once, but I think in theory it should work for you. I'd go to MS website and look for windows live user api or some such.
