Removing Outlook 2003 Icon from Notification Tray

[Joannie]

Somehow the MS Outlook 2003 icon got into my notification
tray (Windows XP) and I can't remove it.

I've tried to drag it out - won't go.
I've both right & left-clicked on the icon but I do not
get an option to exit.

Whenever I exit Outlook, outlook.exe remains and I have to
go into Windows Task Manager Processes, select outlook.exe
and manually end the process.

I did not have to do this before the icon appeared in the
notification area, so I'm sure that is the problem.

Any suggestions on how to remove the MS Outlook icon from
my notification area?
Thanks
