Reset Unread Mail Counts in Windows

Windows has an interesting features that tracks the number of unread messages you have across your email accounts and displays it as you login to Windows. The problem is that this number can wind up wrong if you install and uninstall an email client that doesn't clean up after itself, have an email client crash or PC crash or other reasons. Resetting it back to zero is rather simple for an advanced user (just edit a couple registry keys) but for a normal user, it's not an easy task. So, I created this simple tool to reset unread mail counts.
