I let someone use my computer to check her e-mail. The
next time I used my computer, I found that when I logged
onto the 'owner account,' it had that other person's e-
mail address when I clicked on 'unread mail messages.'
Can someone please tell my how to switch it back to mine?
 
Hi Chris,

Those addresses are stored here: Start/Run/Regedit

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.
