How to keep the system tray icon running when Outlook is closed?

[Maxsster]

The system tray icon is removed when I close Outlook so I am not receiving
Calendar timer/reminders.

How can I correct this?

Thank you

You can't. Outlook MUST be running for Outlook to work. How else would it
work?

Maxsster is trying to say: I want the application running, he just doesn't
want to see MS Outlook minimized on taskbar but instead next to clock (like
MSN Messenger).

Thanks for your answer Gordon. I was hoping that Outlook had a similar
function to the Palm Desktop Alarm Manager. This allows a Alarm (timer) pop
up when the Palm Desktop program is closed.

Thanks again.

It doesn't. It must be running. However, if you have Outlook 2002-2007, you
can configure it to minimize to the Notification Area (System Tray) instead of
to the Taskbar. For Outlook 2003-2007, right-click the Outlook icon in the
system tray and choose "Hide When Minimized". Then use the Minimize button
(not the Close button) to hide it. For Outlook 2002, there's a registry
setting that controls it.
