Download and install TweakUI:

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (TweakUI)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

After installing, go to Start > Programs > PowerToys for Windows XP >
TweakUI. Expand "Logon" and uncheck "Show unread mail on Welcome screen".

Note: Unread message alerts may indicate you have unread messages not only
            in Outlook Express, but Hotmail and/or MSN email accounts as well.

| When logged off, the welcome screen displays how many programs I am running in addition to how many unread 
emails I have in my inbox.  Even though I check and delete the unread emails, it stills displays the same # of 
unread emails.  I rebooted the system hoping this will clear it but that does not work.  Does anyone know if 
this is an ongoing issue.
