Re: Welcome Screen shows X unread messages in my inbox...



Hi

You can get rid of that message:

Download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx and
when installed go to Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI - then go
to Logon>Unread Mail - disable it in the right hand pane.

Otherwise the Unread Mail message can be disabled via the Registry -
navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mic­rosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\­UnreadMail\[Y­ouremailaddress]
- double click on 'MessageCount' - in the right hand pane - and change
the value to 0(Zero).

When I startup up my computer, it goes to the Welcome screen. This is
cool...but it shows that I have X amount of unread mail in my inbox and X
amount in my wifes account. It does NOT update the amount with what is
ACTUALLY in my inbox...this is rather annoying. I'd rather it didnt even
show that i have unread mail if it's not going to be accurate. Anyone out
there have a fix action for this? I've looked in the support pages but Im
no
longer up to digging for hours trying to find one tidbit of info...
