Default Irritating Welcome Screen message

Can anyone help with this problem?

I have XP home, and when I boot my computer, and the "Welcome Screen"
appears with my user accounts shown (administrator accounts, limited
accounts, etc..) underneath one of my limited accounts appears some text, a
message that states that I have "two unread emails".

This is not the case, I'm using outlook express, and there are not unread
emails in any of my email accounts, yet this message constantly appears when
I boot and the welcome screen appears.... Really annoying!

Any tricks or techniques to get rid of this? ? ?

HELP?

thanks for any support,
Robert

You can reset the counter in TweakUI > Repair > Repair unreda mail
count. TweakUI is available from
