Grouping with outlook icon in windows taskbar

Guest

I am using Office Outlook on WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL. Until the beginning of
this week, all my open Outlook windows, such as New messages, drafts,
replies, forwards, used to be grouped with the Outlook icon in my taskbar.
Since Monday, they have been grouped separately, with the MS Word icon in the
taskbar. I would like to change it back so they get grouped with Outlook.
That way, they are kept separate from non-email Word documents. I've looked
at options in MS Word and in Outlook, but have not been able to figure out
how to do this. Everything else (Excel, IE, etc.) gets grouped as before.
It is only the email edit windows that have changed.

Have you tried a system restore to a point before the change?

Wow - I just learned something new! Unfortunately, I can't do the system
restore without calling my system admin (this is a computer at work, and I do
not have admin rights on it), so I can't tell you if your suggestion has
worked. I'll just live with the change for now and hope that it changes
back. --
Thanks again!

Hey Rock, have you found a way to make the taskbar grouped icon for Outlook
items (opened or new messages, appointments, etc.)separate from the icon for
the main Outlook window?
