Hi Chris,

1. To disable the Welcome Screen email notification:

Obtain and install the Windows XP version of TweakUI. Download it from
here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Open TweakUI (it's in Start -> Programs -> Powertoys for Windows XP).
To disable unread mail notification:
Click "Logon" > Unread mail > uncheck ""Show unread mail on Welcome
Screen"

2. To un-associate the .NET accounts from the user profile.

Click Start, Run, and type "Control Userpasswords2"
Click "Advanced", "Manage Passwords"
Remove the entries from the accounts list.

Hi Chris,

See if it is listed here, if so remove it or set ExpiryDays to 0:

To remove an account or to change the count manually Go to:
Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\[Your
E-Mail Address]. In the right pane modify: Message Count, Change it to 0.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail. In
the right pane modify: MessageExpiryDays Change it to 0.
