Can I use JavaScript to open a new window, such as "www.hotmail.com" and fill the "username" & "password" boxes automatically ?

No.
The reason for this is that you do not own the window or the address. 
Javascript only works on pages you own, (or hack but i do not want to 
talk about that). It is "client-side". YOu want to do things like this 
then you may need to use Java or C++ or even C# maybe.
