There are occasions when you log on to Windows XP and you find
that the Welcome Screen contains the words 'You have X unread emails' While this
is a useful option there are times when, even though you have already read those
emails, the Welcome Screen still insists upon telling you that you have unread
mail.
Basically there are two ways of getting rid of this unread email
option. The first is by editing the registry. However this is not always as
successful as one might imagine. For this reason I have not included it here.
Instead we shall use a far simpler, and more effective, method. That of a third
party application called TweakUI.
TweakUI is a freeware Microsoft Windows Power Toy and is
downloaded from the Microsoft website at:
www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/downloads/powertoys.asp
or
www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
1/ Download Tweak UI from the
Microsoft site and Install it on your PC
2/ After installation click the
Start button>All Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI
3/ The Tweak UI application will now
open
4/ From the menu on the left of the
Tweak UI Interface Double Click on the Logon option
5/ The Logon Option menu will now
expand
6/ Next Click the Unread
Mail option
7/ In the Unread Mail Option window
Remove the 'tick' from the 'Show unread mail on Welcome Screen'
option
8/ Now click the Apply button
followed by OK to Exit
9/ The next time you boot up your pc
the Unread Mail option will have been removed.
