Download and install TweakUI:

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (TweakUI)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

After installing, go to Start > Programs > PowerToys for Windows XP >
TweakUI. Expand "Logon" and uncheck "Show unread mail on Welcome screen".

Note: Unread message alerts may indicate you have unread messages not only
in Outlook Express, but Hotmail and/or MSN email accounts as well.

Hi,

Install PowerToys and go to Repair - Repair unread mail count.

Microsoft PowerToys - Tweakui for WinXP: Ver. 2.10 requires WinXP SP1 and later
http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWSXP/home/downloads/powertoys.asp

TweakUI can be accessed from Start - All Programs - Powertoys for Windows XP.
