Log in page shows unread mail

[Barani kumar]

hi,

You can disable this feature by the following steps:

1. Start the Registry Editor (click start - run - type
Regedit and click ok)

2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \
Windows \ CurrentVersion \ UnreadMail

3. Double-click the value MessageExpiryDays in the right
pane, and change the value to 0

4. Close the registry editor and log off from Windows for
the changes to take effect

As you can probably guess from the MessageExpiryDays name
of the value, it controls the number of days when new
(unread) email will be considered read. So even if a
message remains unread in your email program, after the
number of days given in MessageExpiryDays have passed, the
email won't be counted as unread on the Welcome screen.

I hope this helps you.
