return from standby - private email displayed

[Naomi]

Hello

I have a shared computer I use for email and messenger etc. When it is in
Standby mode, and I return from standby, my email address shows plus the
number of unread messages I have. First off, I have no unread messages, so
I'm not sure why it says I do, but worse, it displays my email address for
anyone to see and it is a private email address I use. How do I remove it
from, and in future stop it from, being displayed when returning from standby?

I appreciate any help with this you can offer.

With thanks,

[Larry[_2_]]

Download Tweakui (for Windows XP) and look under logon. There is a screen
you can stop that from happening.

Not sure about Vista.
