Welcome Screen E Mail Notification

[Pepper]

i have two users on my welcome screen, both with admin rights
both users are showing unread mail, but the wrong accounts - i have tried
tweakui and checked out kb 304148 as suggested in other posts
disabled notifications for the time being - but i would like to resolve this
user (1) shows user(1) unread hotmail messages
user (2) shows user(1) unread hotmail messages
but there must be somewhere i can reset these
have had a look in regedit following kb 304148 but i dont really understand
and dont want to mess !
Hope someone can help

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\[Your
E-Mail Address]. In the right pane modify: Message Count, Change it to 0.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail. In
