Don't know if this is just coincidence but shortly after I posted the
above, I got a message to update Outlook Connector. The automatic update
failed (tried it 3 times) so I downloaded the 4/20/10 release of
Connector and installed it. That seems to have cured the problem of
Outlook not shutting down with Windows. At least for now.

In my opinion, it is poor practice to have applications such as Outlook that
rely on a database running when you shut Windows down. I think you should
explicitly close them first, then shut Windows down.
