User email accounts

[nelsh]

The start screen that displays "click your user name" also displays email
accounts and number of unread emails. It displays an email account which I
use discreetly, and I would rather Windows not advertise its existence. Is
there way I can remove its reference?

The simplest way to not show unread email messages on the
Welcome screen is to download, install, and run TweakUI from
Microsoft. Once you've installed TweakUI, go to Start -> All
Programs -> Powertoys for Windows XP and launch the program.
Click the + sign next to Logon. Click on Unread Mail. Make the
appropriate changes in the right hand pane. Click OK. Restart
your compute to see if you get the desired results.
