unread email messages displayed on login screen

[Jewls]

I understand there is a way to prevent email addresses
from showing up on the login screen (with the number of
unread messages). Can anyone tell me how to turn this
notification off please? Thank you

Tweak UI Tweak UI. I am so sick of that useless program being recommended along with the equally useless Power Toys. There is nothing these programs can do that you can't. All you need is a little info and you can save system resources and space by having less useless programs on your OS. To stop the "Unread mail messages" on the welcome screen. go>start\run and type in regedit. This takes you to the registry where we will make a change. Write this down in case you want to undo it later. The registry is not the big scarey place most MVPs make it out to be. You should take care though to do exactly as I say. Navigate the following route by clicking the + symbol beside the entries in the following order. HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/UnreadMail Now right click on UnreadMail and then click permissions and highlighting each account in the top frame change the permissions in the lower frame to deny in all instances. Once this is done click your way out and reboot. There you go. As simple as that. Welcome to the eXPeriance {:~)

Nonsense. TweakUI is far from useless. It's true that it does
nothing that can't be done without it, but that doesn't make it
useless. TweakUI makes it much easier and safer to do many
things, and that makes it very useful.

You probably think a car is useless because you can walk anyplace
that it can take you.

More nonsense. TweakUI is simply a tool. It uses no resources of
any kind except when you are using it. And then it uses no more
than does alternatives like Regedit.

And disk space? Condemning TweakUI for using disk space is
ludicrous. TweakUI uses the grand total of 266,360 bytes. Do you
have any idea of how much disk space costs these days? That
266,360 bytes is worth a tiny fraction of a single penny.
