Group Outlook emails with Outlook and not Word in the taskbargrouping

S

sjurbanowski

I am using Office Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Professional. Until this
morning, all my open Outlook windows, such as New messages, drafts,
replies, forwards, used to be grouped with the Outlook icon in my
taskbar (set to Microsoft Word as my default email editor). All of a
suddent they are being grouped with Microsoft Word in
the taskbar. I would like to change it back so they get grouped with
Outlook and kept separate from non-email Word documents. I've looked
at options in Word and 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. I've
search all over the internet and cannot find any resolution to this.
I tried resetting my taskbar to the default settings but that didn't
do anything. I checked my System Restore and it looks like (pretty
much right around the time this happened) that 3 Windows security
patches were installed: Windows XP KB944533, KB943055, and KB946026.
Help! Any ideas as to how to fix this problem??

Your problem has to do with Outlook and it's settings and NOTHING to
do with XP. You need to ask in a group with OUTLOOK in the title.

Ask elsewhere
