Login window message problem

[Dennis]

When I start my computer and get to the login screen
there is a "outlook message waiting" for an account that
is not active anymore. It indicates in text underneath
the login prompt for an active user but the e-mail
account was set up accidently and deleted. How to I
remove the message indicator....

Hi

You can 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\[Your email address], 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 very good program to do this - as well as being able to restore it - is ERunt:

Thank you. Just didn't know where it resided with my new
XP. Now I won't have to pull out any more hair. I will
get the Tweak UI today.
