Persistent Email notification on startup User selection screen
Hey everyone,
I have Xp pro. Two administrative users set up. For my user account, I have it affiliated with a .NET passport account. So, it seems think it knows when I have new emails. However, under my user icon, it persistently suggests that I have 1 new email.... I can obvioously see that I do not, yet I cannot get rid of this notification. Any hints? Miguel |

Persistent Email notification on startup User selection screen
Greetings Miguel,
This is actually a registry entry. To fix this, you can simply edit the entry. To do so, click Start, then click Run and enter "regedit.exe" and click OK. Then navigate (it's like Windows Explorer) to My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Wind ows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\yourmsnname@h otmail.com Where is the passport. Double-click the MessageCount and enter 0 as the value (this will set back to none). Then click OK, close the registry editor, and log out. If you want to disable this feature all together (no registry changes required), download the TweakUI powertoy: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p.../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. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Miguel" wrote in message ...
