Hi all-

I have a computer lab at school that has "Teacher" and "Student" user
accounts. A few students have been checking their email and I'm getting a
notification on the Student login that they have 1 email message. How do i
turn this notification off?

Thanks,
Mark

Download and install TweakUI:

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (TweakUI)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

After installing, go to Start > Programs > PowerToys for Windows XP >
TweakUI. Expand "Logon" and uncheck "Show unread mail on Welcome screen".

Note: Unread message alerts may indicate you have unread messages not only
in Outlook Express, but Hotmail and/or MSN email accounts as well.

If you don't have PowerToys, you can edit the registry directly, if you're
happy doing that - see
