Hello,

A friend of mine used my computer a while ago to check
his hotmail account... every time he has new messages, my
welcome screen now notifies me of this, in addition to
mine. He used Internet Explorer as well as MSN Messenger
to check his emails. What can I do to stop the
notification of his messages from appearing?

Thanks
 
Hi Miguel,

Passport:

Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2. Advanced/Manage

Disable Unread Mail on the Welcome Screen (Line 100)

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