When windows starts up say after a reboot, it comes up with the users screen to select which user you want to log in at (this is normal). However underneath my name its got the number of emails ive got in my accounts and I want to get rid of this. How is this possible?
 
It is a "feature" Microsoft thought absolutely necessary and impossible for a user to disable. God bless!

Anyway, you can disable it with a registry tweak:
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail
create a new DWORD value MessageExpireyDays and let it be zero.

Go to start > run, type in regedit and press enter.

Click on the plus sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion. Click on UnreadMail.

In the right pane, right-click and select New > DWORD value. Name the new value MessageExpiryDays and then double-click on it and set the value to 0.

You may have to restart for the settings to take effect.

Regards :)
 
Right-click on CurrentVersion and select New > Key. Name the key UnreadMail, and then create the MessageExpiryDays inside that.

Regards :)
