You have 2 Unread Messages
Hi,
my friend has a Windows XP Home Edition installed, and three user names, with a different email address on each account. All the email accounts are checked through outlook express.
I was deleting an fiddling around with the email account on one of their windows usernames. That username previously had 3 identities for each of the family members, but now they all have seperate windows accounts.
Anyway, I deleted all the seperate identities and had only one remaining. When the windows login screen comes up, it says that that particular user (who previously had the 3 identities) has 2 unread email messages from an identitiy which I deleted (obviously without clearing the messages first)
Now there are absolutely no messages for that user in outlook express. I have tried clearning ALL folders, I tried deleted all the identities through windows explorer and setting up a new one, but it still says that there is 2 unread messages.
How do I fix this up, so it realises that there are no messages?
THanks in advance

Ok,
I had a look at the registry key from the site supplied and it works.
