Windows XP and Tweak UI

Remove Unread Mail from Welcome Screen

SUMMARY: Keep Windows XP from showing everyone you don't have time for your e-mail.
 
Normally, on the Windows XP welcome screen, each account's unread mail count is displayed. If you would like to turn this off, do the following:

1) Start Tweak UI (read the tips in MalekTips for downloading / installation information)
2) Click the "Logon" link and expand it.
3) Underneath "Logon", click "Unread Mail".
4) Uncheck "Show unread mail on Welcome screen".
5) If desired, select "Apply setting to all users".
6) Click "OK" to close Tweak UI.
