Outlook closes when show desktop is clicked

I recently upgrade to Outlook 2003. Now whenever I click the show desktop
icon, Outlook closes. Any ideas as to the cause/fix???

Thanks!

I've never seen that before. What OS and SP for same are you running - and
is Outlook/Office fully patched? See
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdate/default.aspx

Event logs give you any clue, provided you're on an NT-based operating
system?

I'm running XP Home Edition SP2 and Office XP Professional 2003. All
patches are current for both.

Do you have 'Hide when minimized' enabled?
