User Accts

[Guest]

On my Windows Xp Log on screen, I have 2 user accts set up and when you go to
Log in, for the 2nd name I have created it shows how many outstanding emails
from the users AOL account there are, but I cant seem to get it to show for
the first user, does anyone know how I can set it up to do this?

Hi Jenn,

If you have Tweakui installed open it (Tweakui can be found in the
start menu) then go to Logon - Unread Mail and check "Apply setting to
all users".

Did you look for "Powertoys for Windows XP" in all programs?

If it is not there it can be downloaded and installed for free. Select
the correct version.

Once installed go to Logon - Unread Mail and "Apply settings to all
users" and if necessary, move down to Repair and select "Repair unread
mail count".

In TweakUI did you go to Logon | Unread Mail and uncheck Show unread mail...
at the top and also select Apply setting to all users?
If so and it didn't work are you logged on to an account with admenestrator
privileges?

Yes, i did all of that and I do have administrator privliges, my user acct is
the main acct, i dont understand it because even before I installed TweakUI
the other user accounts on my computer showed the amount of unread mail...Im
not sure, is there somewhere i have to register which email address is mine
or something? i feel like i've tried everything!
