I have recently upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003. When I close
down the outlook window it does not shut down the process entirely, there is
still an icon in the notification bar and a process continues to run in task
manager. To reopen outlook I have to stop the process in task manager. Any
ideas as to why this is happening and what can be done to stop it?
 
Some common reasons why Outlook will not shut down completely when you click
either the X or Exit:

1. PDA synchronization software
2. WinFax Pro
3. Franklin-Cover Plan Plus!
4. COM Add-ins.
5. Mail reminder add-ins that keep a stub of Outlook open in the background
to check for new mail and fire reminders.
6. Anti-virus/firewall programs that are set to scan incoming and outgoing
mail.
7. Running Outlook 2003 in cached mode against older versions of Exchange
Server.
