Quick question for anyone. I am running Outlook 2003 SP2 on a Win XP SP2
machine and have noticed this new 'feature' that seems to be only happening
on my machine. Whenever I minimize my Outlook it just disappears and does
not show up in my Task Bar. It doesn't shut down Outlook because any emails
or Reminders that I have open will still sit in the Task Bar and emails will
still come in... just the main Outlook window disappears from the Task Bar.
Anytime I want to open Outlook I have to hit the Outlook icon or go START,
Outlook.

At first this wasn't a big deal as I like to have few things in my Task Bar
anyways but I just realized anytime I re-open outlook it always starts at
the default of the Inbox. A good example would be if I were doing a lengthy
search in my Sent Items I would minimize Outlook and do other tasks, but
when I do that I realize that I have to re-open Outlook and because it
defaults to the Inbox when opening my search is lost.

Anyone hear of this problem or know how to get my minimized Outlook to stay
in the Task Bar and not vanish?

Thanks in advance!

This is normal. RIght-click the Outlook icon in the System Tray and uncheck
"Hide When Minimized".
