welcome message problem

[JJ]

Having a annoying problem. Hopefully somebody can help me
out. When I start my computer it goes to the welcome
screen asking me to log on. Underneath my name it states
I have 30 unread messages. The problem is I don't have 30
unread messages. I went into my email program and read
the messages but it keeps showing up that I have to read
them. Can anybody help?

Use TweakUI - one of the XP Powertoys from (if you have installed XP
SP1)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

If you have not installed SP1, the earlier version can be found at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

Once installed you will find it in Start - All Programs - Powertoys for
Windows XP

Its Logon - Unread mail page has a box to enable/disable the facility.
And its Repair - Repair unread mail count allows you to reset it
