At the XPpro logon screen, just before I click on my userid to enter my password - I keep getting a message below my userid saying such thing as :-

5 unread mail messages
Logged in

The logged in bit I understand but I definately do not have any unread mail messages. I have been getting this 'error' for a while now (off and on). Why is it so and how the hell can I get rid of it
 
Download and install TweakUI:

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (TweakUI)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

After installing, go to Start > Programs > PowerToys for Windows XP >
TweakUI. Expand "Logon" and uncheck "Show unread mail on Welcome screen".

Note: Unread message alerts may indicate you have unread messages not only
in Outlook Express, but Hotmail and/or MSN email accounts as well.
