Bogus Email Message

[Jim Dugan]

Upon login the screen says I have 2 unread messages. I
just changed my DSL service provider and my Email address
changed also. I verified my old AND new email boxes are
both empty. It says the emails are from my old account
but the messages have both been deleted by me. How to I
get the login window to stop showing I have 2 unread
messages? Thank you all in advance for any suggestions.
I've tried everything I could think of short of playing
with the system registry.

Use TweakUI - one of the XP Powertoys from (if you have installed XP
SP1)

If you have not installed SP!, the earlier version can be found at

Once installed you will find it in Start - All Programs - Powertoys for
Windows XP
