unread email messages at welcome screen

[DuQuesne]

I have just installed windows xp and have noticed that the unread messages
at the welcome screen never relate to the actual count of unread messages I
have. Most often, the count doesn't change from one bootup to the next, then
suddenly it will reset.

How do I get the count to accurately reflect my unread email as I think this
is a really useful feature

Download and install TweakUI:

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

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.
