you know when you are at the login screen and it tells you that you have unread e-mails from Hotmail. Any way to turn that off or change it to inform you of unread e-mails from Outlook Express?

also, since i installed XP, Zone alarm won't remember my program permissions. Every time I have to Allow IE, Outlook, MS Help, etc. permission to connect to web. getting very annoying. Wasn't like this in Win 98. And yes, I do check the box that says "Remember this next time."

any help would be fantastic. Thanks
