unread messages showing

[nikki]

When I turn on my computer my name is there along with the rest of the family
and under my name it will say how many unread messages I have. Can you please
tell me how to make that stop.

Greetings Nikki,

Sure can. To disable this feature, download the TweakUI powertoy:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp (see on the right).

After you have TweakUI installed, click Start, All Programs, Powertoys for Windows XP, and
choose TweakUI for Windows XP. In the TweakUI window, on the left, click the '+' next to
Logon, and choose Unread Mail. Uncheck 'Show unread mail on Welcome screen' and click OK.
