Welcome Screen E Mail Notification

[Guest Pepper]

i have two users on my welcome screen, both with admin rights

both users are showing unread mail, but the wrong accounts - i have tried

tweakui and checked out kb 304148 as suggested in other posts

disabled notifications for the time being - but i would like to resolve this

user (1) shows user(1) unread hotmail messages

user (2) shows user(1) unread hotmail messages

but there must be somewhere i can reset these

have had a look in regedit following kb 304148 but i dont really understand

and dont want to mess !

Hope someone can help

Re: Welcome Screen E Mail Notification

 

Tip:

 

Add Control Userpasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)

Use TweakUI/Logon/Unread Mail and Repair/Unread Mail Count

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

 

or:

 

Disable Unread Mail on the Welcome Screen (Line 100)

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

 

To remove an account or to change the count manually Go to:

Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\[Your

E-Mail Address]. In the right pane modify: Message Count, Change it to 0.

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail. In

the right pane modify: MessageExpiryDays Change it to 0.
