Email Notification On Login Page

[Guest]

I have noticed that everytime I get a new email, it tells me how many unread
messeges I have on my login page [Under my username]. I do not wish for it
to tell me this information. I was hoping that someone would know how I can
get rid of this so that it does not list any unread messeges I may have in my
hotmail accounts.

Thank you.

TweakUI can reset the email count for on the Welcome Screen

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP

Within TweakUI go to "Repair" > in the drop down list select "Repair unread
mail count".

You could disable this feature as well through the registry.

Turn off Email Notification
Navigate to:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\[Your_email_address]]

The easiest way is to dowload TweakUI from Microsoft and
disable the notification in the Logon/Unread Mail section.

Download TweakUI
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

If you prefer not to use a downloaded program to do this then
you're going to have to edit the registry. Go to this web site
and scroll to the "Unread Mail..." section:
