Hi,

Download and install TweakUI for XP
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
There is a fix within.

Or you can use the registry editor to reset the options. Make sure you
backup any Keys before editing.

Disable unread mail notice for all users

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ UnreadMail

MessageExpiryDays change to dword:00000000

Disable unread mail notice for current user

HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Unr eadMail

MessageExpiryDays change to dword:00000000

To simply clear the current unread count.

HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Unr eadMail\<your
emailaccount>

MessageCount change to dword:00000000

HTH
