How do I get rid of this annoying bit of info that pops up on the Win logon screen? I don't even have MSN Messenger installed...I used Triallian.

Rick,

I'm afraid you'd have to diasble Windows Messenger, not to be confused with MSN Messenger. Windows Messenger is a builtin app for Windows XP. w00t

Download and open MSN Messenger 5:

While downloading, Ctrl+Alt+Delete End the msgr process or whatever it is.

Goto start, run, and paste in:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Then install MSN Messenger 5....Have fun, no Windows Messenger

ya can get rid of that stuff without uninstallin anything.. just gotta remember it..

stay tuned folks

[Doggie]

ok.. here we go.. open up regedit

Start > Run > regedit and click OK

travel to the reg key called "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail"

and those keys will be the user names that are listed as users eg user@hotmail.com .. simply remove the emails.. gets rid of junk and best of all.. it removes the unread email and doesn't affect anything else
