Welcome Screen question

[Lincoln]

Just got a Windows XP machine (Dell 2400). Like it alot
but I don't like the fact that the welcome screen shows
how many unread email messages there are and all the
addresses I've set up to receive through Outlook
Express. Is there some way to turn this feature off?

This Microsoft Knowledge Base article shows how to turn it off:
