Password and alerts

[Nikki]

I have Outlook for Windows 2007. When I start my computer, I do not want
there to be a little alert saying that I have "# unread messages". How do I
turn this off?
Also, I share this computer with someone, so when I start Outlook, is there
a way I can set a password to login with, thus protecting my email account
and not just the Personal Folder?

There is no 'Outlook for Windows 2007'
Password no; if your Personal Folders are password protected then unless
that password is entered Outlook wont start.
You possibly need seperate windows users, Outlook can then be configured
seperately on each users account.

Are you speaking of the new mail count shown on the Windows Welcome screen?

As DL says, you should each have your own Windows password-protected username
and log in separately.
