The first screen that comes up when I turn my computer on is the screen that asks you to pick the user you want. I only have one user registered so the only thing that appears on that screen is the picture with the name written beside it and underneith the name it says I have 16 unread emails for a hotmail account I no longer have. I have tried going into the control panel and changing the net passport to this new hot mail account but it still says that I have the same old account when ever I turn the computer on. Does anyone know how to either have the begining screen not tell me how many emails I have or how to switch it to the new account?

Or, you can control that behavior with TweakUI:
