E-mail Notification on Windows XP Sign In

[Tyler Russell]

When I turn on my computer, and before I log into my
account, the sign in screen displays, under my username,
that I have 4 e-mail messages. The address that comes up
when I click on it is for one of my friends accounts that
must have check their e-mail here. But now, it won't go
away. How do i fix it? It drives me nuts! Any help would
be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Tyler,

Do you just want to fix the unread count or actual remove the displaying of
the unread mail count?

You can fix the unread email account by doing the following:

Download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
After you install it, run Start - Run - TweakUI.
Click on Repair.
From the drop down, click Repair unread email count.

This should fix the login screen for you.

Hope this helps!

Thx,
