You should never expect a Windows shutdown to close your programs,
especially Outlook as its data file (.pst) can corrupt easily with this kind
of abuse.

After furious head scratching, John Jeffrey asked:
| When I select "Turn Off", Win XP shuts down any program that happens
| to be running (with prompts to save any open files). This is
| convenient, but the exception is Outlook - if it's open, I am
| prompted to close it. Is this normal, or is there a setting I can
| alter?
