Re: User Account >> e-mail notification in the welcome screen

hi, i deleted all the .NET passports after going into managing my accounts,
but, it still doesnt work, it STILL shows me the number of e-mails somehow.
Also, i downloaded tweak UI, but when i try to open it,an error comes up
telling me that "tweakUIPowertopSetup_ai64.exe is not a valid win32
application". So ... yeah .... its totally messed up .... thanks for the
help though, do u know how to make tweakUI work on my comp or other methods
of getting rid of this e-mail thing

Thank you so much ... so far .. haha
