Outlook icon in the system tray

[Guest]

After closing Outlook 2003 the icon in the system tray is still there. Stays
there until I reboot. How do I get the Outlook icon in the system tray to
exit after I exit the Outlook 2003 program?

are you closing it or minimizing it to the tray? if closing, make sure all
apps that access outlook data are closed - remove PDAs from the cradle too.
if you use a search utility (lookout, msn search etc) it may still be
searching.

If you get http://www.sunflowerhead.com/software/knockout you can see if
it's closing and force it closed from the tray.

I am closing the program (File/Exit). I do have the LookOut add-in and MSN
Toolbar. I also use an integrated RSS Reader for Outlook (intraVnew). I will
check out the sunflowerhead.com software that you mentioned. Thank you.

is the msn search installed with the msn toolbar? I had severe problems
using the MSN search so it would be the first thing I would check. It could
any of those apps though, since each uses Outlook data.

Make sure you wait a minute or so for it to close - Newsgator keeps it open
a few seconds longer if it's pulling RSS feeds when I close it and intravnew
may do the same.

You're right on point - good job! I learned through trial and error that
IntraVnews was the culprit. It was even addressed in a later release of that
program. But thanks anyway. This is a great community.

Thank you for the tip about http://www.sunflowerhead.com/software/knockout
I downloaded this small program and it has solved all my problems

are you closing it or minimizing it to the tray? if closing, make sure all
apps that access outlook data are closed - remove PDAs from the cradle too.
