minimizing/maximizing outlook

[Guest]

Whenever I use the 'show desktop' button to minimize all program windows the
very next window I maximize Outlook piggypacks it and maximizes along with
it. For example: I have excel, word, acrobat, outlook, 5 or so folders,
internet explorer open. I choose 'show desktop' in order to drag and drop
copy from one folder to another without being encumbered by other windows
open. I maximize one of the folders and outlook also maximizes behind it.
This is driving me crazy!!!! I've looked everywhere for a setting, but I
can't find it. Does anyone have an answer?

Hi.

Have you solved this problem?

I have a similar problem: I run XP Pro SP2. When I am viewing a website in
IE 6 or Firefox 1.5, and especialy frequently if I am filling a form on a
website, Outlook 2003 SP2 will spontaneously, unpredictably and repeatedly
maximize, preventing me from viewing a website or filling a webform.

If I minimize it, it often just pops open randomly, but most frequently when
I am typing. Sometimes, the it maximizes after every character! It even
comes to life to do this after I close Outlook completely! This is extremely
annoying.

I sometimes have to shut my computer down completely to get it to stop.
Other times, it stops this mischievous behavior spontaneously. I have even
changed computers, and Outlook continues this behavior!

Any suggestions???
