When I turn my computer on it stops before it reboots to my desktop. I have
to click on my name Yoka and it says that I have 14 messages.
My question is where do I go or find these messages?
I tried everything and so far no luck .

Mail messages?

I have never seen anything about messages there before Tom. I saw it for the
first time yesterday . I don't know what they are? It just says 'messages'.
I use AOL and have Comcast a broadband cable connection.
Could it be from Comcast from my windows explorer?
It never did that before not even when I had 20 messages there.
Thanks for trying to help me.

Do any other people use your windows logon, and could they have
accessed other mail or AOL accounts?

I ask because AOL provides you with a master account, and you can make
like six other screen names. If you had a few emails in each account
and you logged into them all without marking the messages as read,
they could all show up. Likewise, if just one other person uses the
same Windows logon as you and they logged into their account, any
unread mails could show up there. The same thing most likely applies
to any other email clients.

First I'd check all your email accounts. If that doesn't help, (and
assuming you have SP1 or newer) try downloading TweakUI.exe (link
below) from Microsoft. It will allow you to access a few system
settings that you can't alter by default. One of these options (Logon
Unread Mail) will allow you to permanently disable unread messages

What is SP1 ? I am a woman and English is not even my first language.

SP1 is Service Pack 1. It is an update to Windows XP that was released
in Sept 0f 2002, if you regularly use Windows Update/Microsoft Update
you most likely already have Service Pack 2 (SP2). The page I linked
to says you'll need SP1 to use TweakUI on XP, but it works fine on my
PCs with SP2 so I assume that it's a minimum requirement.

If you click "Start - Run" and type in "winver" a dialog should show
you which version of windows you are running.

Thank you.
 
I know now what it is. It is from AOL it tells me how many emails I have in
my email box . I had to reinstall my AOL software and it must be something
new. I highlighted the messages and than I saw it was from AOL. I don't like
it at all that they did that and hope I can have that part deleted I want it
to reboot to my desktop as always.
At least now I know what it is.
Thank you all for trying to help.
Have a great day

In your email program. You can turn this function on/off with The PowerToys
utilities (available from microsoft.com).
