Windows XP login Screen

[Brian Cook]

I have windows XP Professional on my lap top computer. When I start the
computer and the log in screen appears, it shows that I have unread e-mails.
Sometimes as may as 30. But when I open outlook express, there are no
unread e-mails in any of the folders.

Why is this happening? How can I correct it?

Carey,

I tried to follow your instructions but when I expanded the login thingy
there was no such box to uncheck.
What have I done wrong?
