Outlook 2007 Options on Systems Tray

[Charliec]

I'm using Outlook 2007 and have it start in Startup on Login. It also
shows up on the System Tray. When I right click on the Outlook Icon
on the Tray, there are 3 options that are checked - as follows;

- Show Network Warnings
- Show Network Connectivity Changes
- Show New Mail Desktop Alert

I only use Outlook to maintain my contacts and to manage my schedule.
I do not use it for email as I have another program for that, which
also handles my access to Newsgroups.

My question is, do I need to have these options active (and what do
they do). I'm running WinXP Home Edition.

Thanks for any insights.

I don't think you can change the options shown there.

You should be able to uncheck those three options. In your case, I don't
think you need them.
