Outlook 2000 starts on its own...

[John MacLeod]

I leave my office computer on overnight and every morning when I come in
Outlook has been started. Sometimes after I shutdown Outlook I have to go
into and the Windows Task Manager and shut down the process...not
always...but even when I do this it is mysteriously started backup again in
the morning...

What is happening?

Thanks,
John

Hello John,

Check you Startup Folder in Start -> All Programs. If Outlook is there,
remove it. Also, check msconfig.exe. Go to Start -> Run -> msconfig.exe.
Click the startup tab. Uncheck Outlook if it is there.

Hope this helps.

Please mark this post if it was helpful or not.

Thanks!

are you using a sync utility for a pda or mobile device?

what brand of computer is it? What os? One brand has a bios problem that
causes the default email client to load on boot.

Thanks for the reply...but I think you misunderstood my problem. I did check
the things you suggested (thank you) and Outlook was not there...however my
problem is not with Outlook starting up on it's own when I "start up the
computer"...

The problem is that I leave the computer on over night and despite the fact
that I have shutdown Outlook (including going into the Windows Task Manager
and shutting down the process which SOMETIMES needs to be done) when I show
up in the morning Outlook has magically opened up again and is running...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
John

Thanks for the reply...

No, I'm not using any sync utility...and sorry I didn't post more pertanent
info (it's been a while since a posted an problem to a newsgroup)...

The computer is from MDG (in Canada) and is running Windows XP Home...

Also, Outlook does start when I boot the computer...the problem is that I
leave the computer on over night and despite the fact that I have shutdown
Outlook (including going into the Windows Task Manager and shutting down the
process which SOMETIMES needs to be done) when I show up in the morning
Outlook has magically opened up again...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
John
