email notifications when logging onto user accounts

[Guest]

When I log onto my user account there is a message telling me that i have 49
unread messages. However, that is not my email account. A friend logged
onto his MSN using my laptop. Is there anyway of resetting / disabling the
counter because I cant log onto his email to read his messages!!!!??

Try my script http://gilles.ronsin.free.fr/fichiers/unread.vbs
With it you cant view, reset or erase mailbox report

Control Panel> User Accounts. Select your account. In this next window,
check the task pane on the left. There is an option to "manage" .net
passwords. Use that to delete your friend's email account info from your
user account.
