XP Login Screen

[kawika]

On my login screen, I now have next to my user account "27 mail messages" indicating that I have hotmail messages waiting. This never appeared before, and I don't want it to. And now, even if there are no new messsages, it still reads "27 mail messages" How do I get rid of this??? Doesn't seem to be causing any problems, just irritating.

Check out this article at MS Knowledge Base

Maybe that will fix you up?

Sorry dude, looks like that link has expired??

If that doesn't work, try searching for that article - Q304148 at the Knowledge Base. Basic good old Registry hack, with step by step directions:thumb:

Thanks. That second link worked. I couldn't edit the key quite like the article said, but I ended up just deleting the key and it seems to work fine. Again, thanks.

Hopefully that key won't prove to be doing any neccessary functions in the future:eek:
But if it is working ATM, that's 1 thing gone right today:thumb:
Good luck with it!!
