WinXP Pro - New Msg Notificaiton on User Login

Hi Folks,
Does anyone know how to get rid of the "... unread mail messages" notification on the Windows XP Pro login page (image attached)?

It's not causing any trouble except that I find it a little annoying when someone visits and logs in under the guest account, leaving me stuck with this message on my login screen.

Thanks very much,
Stryker

Edit: oops sorry, forgot the image... here it is.

This KB article should explain how to do it: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=304148

Note that if you are logged in as Guest, you may need to run regedit as administrator (Run As) or if you are running as a user with Admin priveleges, you will need to go to the hivekey corresponding with the user. (it will not be HKEY_CURRENT_USER ) it should be: under something like: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2025429265-1411110922-682003330-1005\

Fantastic...
Looks like this will work perfectly. I'll give it a shot when I get home tonight.
Thanks very much Statica,
Stryker
