[How To] Manually remove Phantom text/email count through the REG..

[boredandtattooed]

was just strollin the REG last night for a few min.. something i do from time to time just trying to learn more..

i know some people like to do things themselves and not use a utility such as fixunreadcount.exe and such... dont really see any of the "i have a missed text but all say read" kinda post anymore, but found the REG yesterday that controls it all manually so i thought id put it up anyways..

HKCU\System\State\Messages ...from there you have MMS.SMS.other.other email.sms.and voicemail... each has an "Unread" subfolder to go into also.. and there you will see "Count".. it will show your phantom message count.. change to 0 and soft reset and its gone...

**interesting note** in the folders is also an "account name" and/or "text" REG where in theory you can edit what your accounts are called(though for email, you can make it say whatever you want when you set up each account) but if you dont like seeing SMS / MMS at the TOP of that page, you can chage it to say something like "Messages" or "Texts / Pics".. should work no problem

**attached the fixunredcount utility that fixes unread count for those who like the simplier way, but mightve missed this posted a few times about the site.. this was what i used when it happened to me.. sweet lil thing it is..
