User Accounts Question

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

I, too, am a new XP user, having returned from many happy years as a Mac
user! I can appreciate your frustration.

Adjacent to my log in account picture there's a reminder that I have 18
unread emails - but I don't!!! Does anyone know how to remove the reminder?

Kind regards

How about just Disabling Unread Mail on the Welcome Screen?
