    Windows Xp
    On my user name on my desktop I keep getting a message saying that I have unread messages in my mailboxes. How can I stop this from happening as other people use this PC and I don't want them knowing my mail addresses.
    Thanks

    Here are the instructions to turn that notification off:

    1. This one involves editing the registry:

    Hi,
    Here is a link:

    As the other answer indicates, this involves editing the Registry. This link gives step by step instructions on editing two values.
    Please BE CAREFUL when editing the Registry... your computer might not restart.
    Always shut down the computer before editing the Registry. Then, after you reboot and edit it, if something happens, you can always reboot into "Last Known Good Configuration", and restore a good Registry.
