I've recently upgraded to Windows XP. Now, it seems to
indicate that I have unread email messages. I currently
have 2 email accounts (AOL and cable). There are also
other users defined on the computer.

Where does Windows XP look for that information and how
can it be pointed to the correct email source?

Thanks,
Donna
 
Download and install TweakUI:

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (TweakUI)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

After installing, go to Start > Programs > PowerToys for Windows XP >
TweakUI. Expand "Logon" and uncheck "Show unread mail on Welcome screen".

Note: Unread message alerts may indicate you have unread messages not only
in Outlook Express, but Hotmail and/or MSN email accounts as well.
