XP Pro e-mail notifications on user screen
I am a new user of XP Pro. When I am on the user log-on screen, the number of unread e-mails for each user displays. How do I get rid of this notification. (I'm a MSN account with DSL). Also, when I go to the User accounts I see a user named ASP.NET with password protection -- I did not set up this user!! Where did it come from and should I delete??

fharris2519,
To rid the user log-on screen of the unread e-mails notification, download Microsoft's free Tweak UI (Tweak the User Interface) application. Once you have installed the program, expand the Logon branch, click on Unread Mail, and uncheck "Show unread mail on Welcome screen". The next time you reboot your computer the changes will take effect. If there are multiple user accounts, repeat the procedure for each.

For the unread mail prompt an alternative to TweakUI is the little script here. If your antivirus program is set to block script execution you will need to give permission for this one to run.
You can find the information on the asp.net account in this post.
