Profile startup screen - unread email

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

When I'm at the 'select profile' startup screen where a profile and a photo
icon is displayed, my profile is telling me that I have 3 unread email
messages, but when I go to Outlook, I show no unread emails in ANY folder.
What's up with that?

Thanks!

Tweak XP tools has a way to reset this error...

Hi

Download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp and when
installed go to Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI - then go to
Logon>Unread Mail - disable it in the right hand pane.

Otherwise the Unread Mail can be disabled via the Registry - navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\[Youremailaddress],
double click on 'MessageCount' - in the right hand pane - and change the
value to 0(Zero).

***If you do opt for the Registry please 'tweak', please backup the Registry
first. A good program to do this - as well as being able to restore the
Registry - is ERunt:
