1 new e-mail message....not!

[Guest]

On the Windows XP start page (welcome screen?) where you sign into your own
account (the one with all the user accounts listed on it), my account says
that I have "1 unread e-mail message" and I do not. The other day, I let my
friend check her e-mail on my computer, and my computer says that I have a
new e-mail message when in reality it is saying that her e-mail address is
mine. Now, to confuse matters even more, she doesn't have any new e-mail
messages. Please help me fix this, it is very annoying! I don't understand
how my computer is connected to her address and not mine. It has never told
me that I had new messages through the welcome screen ever before. Thanks.

Hi

Download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp and when
installed go to Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI - then go to
Logon>Unread Mail - disable it in the right hand pane.

Otherwise the Unread Mail can be disabled via the Registry - navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\[Youremailaddress],
double click on 'MessageCount' - in the right hand pane - and change the
value to 0(Zero).

***If you do opt for the Registry please 'tweak', please backup the Registry
first. A good program to do this - as well as being able to restore the
Registry - is ERunt:
