Greetings Neil,

Yes the link changed a few years ago (note the original post is from 2006).

Instead, you can now send yourself a new verification e-mail:
https://account.live.com/verifysi.aspx?mkt=en-us&rp=summarypage

and if you're still having problems, you can contact Windows Live ID services:
https://support.live.com/default.aspx?productkey=wlid
After clicking the link, choose any option from the FAQ on the left, then choose 'Get more
help' at the bottom right, and then 'Get more support'.
