If you look at this http://rapidshare.com/files/136711452/Procexp.txt.html

then you'll see 5 OUTLOOK processes, three parented by wlmail and two
parented by explorer

there are no OUTLOOK icons in the Systray nor the Taskbar

can someone please explain what's going on, its driving me nuts - the only
add on I have is Outlook Connect

Before I added Shutdown the only addon was Outlook Connector, does it that
misbehave?

Next week, when I'll have more time, I'll uninstall the Shutdown addon and
try to induce the Outlook as a service behavior and document here.

But what I've noticed is that sometimes Outlook is running as a

it runs under a service host or direct under services

Outlook never runs as a service, as far as I can tell. It's clearly not
listed in the Services console.

I fixed it by installing Dave Levinson's Shutdown addon - apparently
its a common problem for Outlook to be execute out of sight.

Still running after being closed is not the same as running as a service.
It usually means you have a misbehaving add-in that isn't allowing
Outlook to close properly.
