annoying MSN message at log on screen

My cousin came round yesterday and logged onto MSN and now when i go to the XP logon screen it says i have 11 unread messages which i presume were in my cousins mail.. How the heck do i get rid of this message? can i turn this feature off?

ive tried logging into other accounts and seeing if it changes but the total unread mail messages just tally up and up! frustrating to say the least..

can anyone help me get rid of this annoyance?

AOL 8 has that feature also, it's called AOL Companion..
I have it off, I don't like it either. I don't know what MSN calls theres, but look for a little Icon or something in the System Tray or in AOLs case right above the clock. If you can find it, you should be able to turn it off. Is it possible it is part of MSN IM?

You have your account password protected? It will show this also...if windows boots straight up to Desktop, you wont see it anymore...other than that, I have no idea, so you'll have to search around like RB said or wait till somebody else knows.
