Login problem

I am having a small problem ( more annoying than serious ) when i start up the computer, it goes to the welcome screen ( XP ) it lists the users on the computer. The problem is that beside my name it says i have so many unread emails, when i put the cursor on this it tells me my hotmail account. How do i stop this simple yet annoying problem


Can you help please

Install PowerToys for Windows XP here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx. After install open TweakUI go to logon click + sign>Unread Mail, in right panel uncheck box that says "Show unread mail on Welcome Screen". Select whether you want setting for just yourself or all users. Click OK and reboot. That should clean it up for you.
