Problem with Windows login screen...

[Bernard Roberts]

You know how, that when you have unread MSN/Hotmail email and you log out of
windows you get a line of text that says: "You have 1 unread email" under
your username?

Well I have this message without any unread email.

I've checked the mail under MSN Explorer, IE, Outlook, Outlook Express, and
anywhere else I can think of. They all say I have 0 unread mail and 0 total
mail

I'm pretty sure it was caused when a setup app restarted the Computer before
the computer finished checking all the mail, and I'm pretty sure that the
list of unread mail is in the registry, but I don't know where to look.

Has anyone ever had this problem, and does anyone know how to fix this.

Hi

You can download TweakUI from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp and when installed go to Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI - then go to Logon>Unread Mail - disable it in the right hand pane.
