Unread message not there!

Whenever I start XP I get a message on the start up screen, telling me I
have an unread message.
I use Incredimail for my email and have no unread messages. I only buse OE
for newsgroups.
Can someone tell me how to get rid of the message?
Thanks

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).

The easiest way is to download and install TweakUI:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

There is a place where you can disable the unread messages display on
the Welcome screen.
