Welcome Screen

[Guest]

I just upgraded to XP Home, from WinME. The welcome screen displays my picture/icon and my roommate's picture/icon and everything works dandy when we switch from one user to another.

The only problem is, on the welcome screen, my icon always shows how many email messages are on HER email (which, btw is on AOL).

I went to user accounts and chose a new passport and put in my msn account (which was already there, I just re-entered my info.) Rebooted and it still shows HER AOL email, under my icon/picture, on the welcome screen. How do I get the welcome screen to show how many email messages I have in MY MSN account and erase HERS from MY icon?

Thanks in advance,
Teri

An overview of this feature is here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;304148&Product=winxp
(watch the wrap)
Or the easy way is to download and install Tweakui:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/downloads/powertoy
s.asp
(again, watch the wrap)
to disable unread mail, open Tweakui from All
Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Powertoys for
WindowsXP>TweakUI for Windows XP. (or something like that)
Go down to Logon (click on plus sign)>UnRead Mail. You
can disable it from there.
