My logon screen used to show the number of unopened e-
mails next to the picture before I logged on. It just
stopped doing that one day and I can't seem to find where
to turn it back on. My other user's logon displays their
e-mail just fine on the same screen...same computer.
Anyone know how to re-activate this?

Hi,

Download and install TweakUI for XP
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
There is a fix within.

Or you can use the registry editor to reset the options. Make sure you
backup any Keys before editing.

Disable unread mail notice for all users

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail

MessageExpiryDays change to dword:00000000

Disable unread mail notice for current user

HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail

MessageExpiryDays change to dword:00000000

To simply clear the current unread count.

HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\<your
emailaccount>

MessageCount change to dword:00000000

HTH

Tried both tweak ui and registry. The unread mail notice
is ON but it still doesn't work for my profile. The other
users are still fine. I even compared the registry
entries for my profile and the other users. Everything is
the sameexcept the users code. Unread mail is set to
000001 (1). Tweak UI says its on. I even turned it off
and rebooted then turned it on and rebooted. Still not
coming up.
I really hate when things like this happen.
