Mail message when logging on

[Guest]

Media Center 2005 / When logging onto windows under my account, below my icon
it says 1 mail message (unread). I'm using Outlook Express and nothing is
unread. Is it referring to a different program? If so which one since I can't
find it. How do I get rid of this message and how can I have it key into my
Outlook Express mail so it's accurrate.

Hi

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\[Youremailaddress],
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 good program to do this - as well as being able to restore the
Registry - is ERunt:
