When windows starts, the first page that is seen is the users page. Listed
under the users it tells me how many email messages are unread. I do not
want this displayed or I want to change/remove the email account that gets
listed here. How do I do this.

You can try dis ---
Start > Run > regedit
Navigate to
-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail
Double-click > MessageExpiryDays , set the value to 0 and click OK
[Note : if the key - MessageExpiryDays isn't available, create a new value,
type DWORD ]
Close the Registry Editor, and log off and check it.

Take a look at the registry fixes provided at either of these

Line 100, left hand column, Disable Unread Email on the Welcome
Screen
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Remove Unread Email Count from the Windows XP Login Screen
http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/emailui.php
You can also use Microsoft's TweakUI PowerToy to do the same
thing. TweakUI can be downloaded here:
Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Once you've installed TweakUI, go to Start -> All Programs ->
PowerToys for Windows XP and launch the program. Navigate to
Logon -> Unread Mail. Change the settings for all users or just
your account and click OK. Reboot to see if you get the desired
results.
Good luck
