How did u know that the questioner has SP1 installed ??(or has a Windows XP
SP1 with all updates installed.??)
BTW, i dont think my information is wrong.
How many times did u tell me about this before?

Stop posting wrong infomation. That article only applies to non SP1 Windows
XP that have no updates installed.

The feature is handled by an optional addin to current versions of Windows
or MSN Messenger. That means if one hasn't installed optional addins then
the feature no longer exists on XP. That is how entries on the welcome
screen get marooned, Out of the box it enters the mail count but as soon as
it starts updating the feature is removed from Windows, so there is nothing
to fix the mail count at the time the update was applied.

Therefore the correct advice is to install the optional addin into messenger
to bring messenger back to it's default functionally..

How many time do I have to tell you and the others here.

Well if they haven't updated the'll be bombarded with messenger converstions saying YOU MUST UPDATE NOW from the MSN team in addition to normal update available dialogs.
