Default how do I stop outlook from opening automatically

I am running WinXP Pro, using Outlook 2003. When I logs into this computer,
Outlook opens automatically. If you close it, it
immediately opens again. If you minimize it, it will pop right back
up. If you try to open an email, the main window comes to the front
so you can't see your email. Help. It is not in Startup and I can't find
out how to turn it off.

Click 'Start|Run', type MSCONFIG in the window and click OK. This launches
the System Configuration Utility which should show you where Outlook is
being started and, optionally, may allow you to stop it from autostarting.
