User Account Icons

When starting up my laptop, Windows XP arrives at a User Account page, where
the relevant accounts are shown for the user to pick which he/she wishes to
utilise. Alongside the user account icon name(s), there is now also a message
of how many unread mail there is for the relevant account. My question is,
how is that "unread mail" message disabled when viewing the screen?

Download TweakUI from he

Open TweakUI (it's in Start - Programs - Powertoys for Windows XP).

To disable unread mail notification:
Click "Logon" Unread mail uncheck ""Show unread mail on Welcome Screen"

To reset the unread mails count:
Select "Repair" Repair Unread Mail Count and click "Repair Now"
