email notification on login

when I turn my computer on...and it gets to the welcome
screen....it tells me I have x amount of unread email.
how do I shut this off?....
My problem is that it is giving me someone elses email.

Use TweakUI/Logon/Unread Mail
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/...s/powertoys.asp

To change it manually - Start/Run/Regedit:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\[Your
E-Mail Address]. In the right pane modify: Message Count, Change it to 0.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail. In
the right pane modify: MessageExpiryDays Change it to 0.
