Welcome page User Accounts e-mail notification

[Greg]

On our Welcome page, under our User Accounts, there is notification of how

many programs are running in each account and how many unread e-mails are in

each account. The problem is, some e-mail accounts are linked to the wrong

User Accounts. Can anyone point me to how to sort these out. Thanks.

Disable Unread Mail on the Welcome Screen (Line 100)

To remove an account or to change the count manually:



Start>Run>Regedit>navigate to this key:



HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\[Your

E-Mail Address]. In the right pane modify: Message Count, Change it to 0.



HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail. In

the right pane modify: MessageExpiryDays Change it to 0.
