messages waiting to be read

[Jeff]

A month or so ago I install TB 2 and later uninstalled it. However when
I boot up into Windows XP I _still_ get on the XP login page a message
that I have 1 or 2 unread messages, something that I believe started
showing when I installed TB. Even though TB is long gone, I still get
the message on the XP login screen about messages waiting to be read.

How do I get rid of what I think is a remnant of TB?

I have no idea what "TB" is, but th easiest way to remove the message
about emails waiting on the login screen is with the free MS Power Toy
Tweak UI.

TB is Thunderbird, but thanks for the pointer to TweakUI.
