My sons have come over and used my computer, using MSN Messenger. One
of my friends also did the same thing. Now, since then, every time I log on,
my
user account tells me that I have X-number of unread e-mails. When I click
on
it, it tells me how many are in both of my sons and my friend's account as
well
as mine. I do not like this function at all and find it ANNOYING. Is there a
way
I could turn this off? I am running Windows XP Professional.

Using TweakUI is probably the simplest way to disable this
feature:

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP

Good luck

I found it, I tried it, and it worked.
Then I read the part about the TweakUI,
which I already have, in LOGON/Unread Mail
and disabled it from there for all users.

Thankyou very much!
