Unread Messages On Start Screen

I hate seeing unread mail messages on my start screen. I've done this before but don't remember they reg key to use, Someone that knows it help me out please???? Jeremy

Hi jeremy_smitty5,
Have you tried this…………..


If you just want to remove it for one user:

1. Log into the XP box with the user you want to change
2. Click Start and click Run
3. In the runbox type regedit and press ENTER
4. Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail

5. Double-click on the dword MessageExpiryDays in the right column. If the dword is not there, create it.
6. Set the value to 0

If you want to remove the notification for all users:

1. Click Start -> run -> regedit (as noted above)
2. Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail

3. Double-click on the dword MessageExpiryDays in the right column. If the dword is not there, create it.
4. Set the value to 0

Wait I'm having a little problem. I can't find the "UnreadMai"l on "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE", and when I find the right one, and I create the new dword, do I rename it "MessageExpiryDays" or leave it what is it HELP Jeremy
