Question HOTMAIL vs OUTLOOK

If you are a user of hotmail, you no doubt know that MS has decided to change it to
Outlook.com for your email.. Mine has been changed which is ok.. it works alright..
However, I find that in order to use outlook email, I have to open a browser and click on a favorite link to get to it. There is no way that I can find to download it and add it to my desktop like hotmail..
Hotmail is downloaded with windows live (messenger, and other stuff) and I have an icon in my taskbar that I click on to open hotmail without opening a browser..
It works the same with Google chrome or IE 10....

So maybe I'm missing something here, but does anyone know how to fix it..?

Maybe I should uninstall hotmail then reinstall it or something else.... I just plainly don't know...

To be clear, I want outlook email to be in my taskbar (quick start).. so that I can open it from there instead of opening a browser first.. Maybe that is not possible with outlook..

By the way, Hotmail is still there, and I can open it just like I always have...

Outlook.com is not the same as Outlook express.. that's an entirely different program..I have
Outlook express with Office 2007, but never used it, because I don't like it.
