How can I remove incorrect 'xx unread messages' from Welcome Scree

I recently created a second user account on my PC, and transferred my email
identity and email account to the new user. I imported all the existing
messages into the 2nd user's Outlook Express inbox, then deleted them from
the first user's inbox.

Email now works correctly - i.e all new email goes to the new user, and
the Welcome Screen shows the correct number of unread messages next to the
2nd user's picture.

However, the first user's picture still has "31 unread messages" even though
it now has no active email account and all messages are deleted. I've tried
logging out, shutting down the computer, all to no effetc. I just can't get
rid of it. Any ideas?

Ricky's response sends you to website to download vbs script file that will
modify your registry automatically.

If your comfortable with modifying registry manually, see MS KB article....
