I've noticed a regular occurrence when shutting my
machine down for the night. I'm a long time user of
windows so I still shut down all my applications before I
shut down the operating system. Call me old but I believe
it keeps the system clean. But I've noticed a problem.

OS: XP Professional
Mail App: Outlook 2002

After shutting down all applications, I attempt to shut
down the machine and I get a window indicating
OUTLOOK.EXE is still running and it asks me to shut it
down, so I do...Then the same window pops up again, so I
end the process again. Well, what I have noticed is that
when I check out the processes tab in Task Manager their
can be one to three outlook.exe processes running even
when outlook is not open.

Does anyone know why this happens and is there something
I can do to fix it?

Thank you,
Mike
