I have configured outlook 2007 to use multi profiles. When I close the
outloop and re-open to select other profile the profiles select list is not
prompted. I have set for prompt for profile. But I observed this, after
closing outlook still the task manager shows Outlook.exe is runing..when I
kill that and re-open I can see the profiles and select particular.

Now my question, why Outlook is runnning though its closed. My setting
"Hide when minimized" is already OFF.

thanks
