windows xp logon query

at my logon screen, it keeps telling me i have 136 new emails which is from when i cleared out an old email account i dont look at regulary, is there anyway to stop this, i have tried deleting .net accounts under user accounts> manage my networks, but it still comes up :(

thanks

Install tweakui ver. 2.00.0.0 fro the microsoft site. go to the part on logon and you can disable it.

cheers for the advice, dont suppose you got a link for the tweak?

Start run regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail

Double-click MessageExpiryDays set the value to 0, then click OK.

If that key does not exist create it - right click new key UnreadMail then right click the UnreadMail new DWORD MessageExpiryDays - it will automatically be set to 0.

OK that

Logoff and back on again - should be good.

Or get PowerToys which include tweakui here

Good Luck!

i got to the registry bit u told me about, but i couldnt find message expiry days, all there is is (default) under name and then under type REG_SZ and under data is value not set??

is that the one u mean?

i clicked on each account listed under unread mail but i couldnt see anything called message expiry days under there either

If that key doesn't exist, you have to create it.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion

is the place where you create the sub key UnreadMail

here is the Microsoft article about it

try here

thanks for your help noo noo, ive sorted it with help of that microsoft link

cheers
