Outlook 2003 will not stop

[Munchausen]

After I close Outlook 2003 -- even after checking the running
processes in Task Manager to ensure it is not running -- I will
return to Task Manager after leaving the computer for an hour or
so, only to find that there are as many as 20+ instances of
Outlook 2003 running as processes.

Why is this? What can I do to stop it?

BTW, I'm using Win XP Home.
Thanks in advance.
