XP pro with multiple users. One user has message by user's icon: 542 unread
mail messages.

Where is that coming from? User didn't use OE. or Outlook. Mail came from
compuserve and later is gotten thru sbcglobal / yahoo.

Any ideas?
 
Hi

You can get rid of that message:

Download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx 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.

Otherwise the Unread Mail message can be disabled via the Registry -
navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mic­rosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\­UnreadMail\[Y­ouremailaddress]
- double click on 'MessageCount' - in the right hand pane - and change
the value to 0(Zero).

Yeah do that what he said to disable it but the reason why this is, it's
because when you go to e.x. Hotmail or msn or whatever, xp will count
undread/new emails and log it ;) And it happens too when you use MSN
messenger when you have registered your WINXP account with the .NET
passport (required for the old msn messenger(4.7).
