Windows XP Home Welcome Screen

[Tony]

Hello,

I have Windows XP Home installed on my laptop.

After I turned on the power, the normal "Welcome Screen"
would appear. It showed two account names (one with full-
admin power and one is limited account).

Underneath the full-admin account name, it said
"You have 1 unread message"

I think it has something to do with my Microsoft .NET
Passport (i.e, hotmail account).
I login to hotmail and read all my emails but that
message didn't go away.

Dos anyone know how to get rid of that message please?

Thanks.

Tony
