Outlook Remaining in Memory

I've recently had problems with outlook remaining active in memory under
WinXP SP2 after I close the program.

More puzzling, it seems to me that if I close the program by clicking on the
Close box (the X in the upper right) the program DOES remain in memory, but
if I close it using File | Exit it does not.

Anyone else know anything about this? I do have one add-in (Attachment
Sniffer), which I suppose could also be to blame.
 
Some common reasons why Outlook will not shut down completely when you click
either the X or Exit:

1. PDA synchronization software with your PDA in the cradle.
2. WinFax Pro (especially 10.02 in Outlook 2003) - contact their support
for an alleged fix.
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.

Yes, I know that. But I've never seen anything that seems to allow outlook
to not shut down completely when I click the X, but does shut down
completely when I click Exit.

I suspect the "Attachment Sniffer" add-in, but wondered if anyone else had
seen the same thing.
 
Inboxer does here.
