Hi,

I've recently bought a new PC and am now running XP home after having run Me
for 3 years.

I have set up 5 users on the new PC but when the log on screen appears after
power up XP shows that I have unread emails under my name, upon investigation
I have determined that these emails are for my son and daughter who use the
PC under their own user name. I personally do not have a Hotmail account!

How can I prevent this prompt to show on my account?

Thank you
--
Ronnie c.

Download and install TweakUI.

To disable unread mail notification Open TweakUI :
Click "Logon" > Unread mail > uncheck ""Show unread mail on Welcome
Screen"
