Sorry - it's 2003
and it's still running in Task Manager
it's not showing in the Taskbar - or in the other one over on the right
(WinXP) - sorry but I forgot what that one's called.


Outlook (and Word) have the nasty habit of not fully unloading when told
to exit. There are various explanations, like plug-ins not unloading, but
I've seen it happen for a fresh install of Windows and a fresh install of
MSOffice. Wait a minute after exiting Outlook and then kill the rogue
outlook.exe process. It shouldn't happen all the time but it does happen.

Presumably by exiting Outlook you are actually exiting it. Minimizing it
to an icon in the system tray is NOT unloading it from memory.
