Why don't Outlook shut down.

[Mogens]

When I wan't to shut down my computer, it gives me an
annoying message to shut down Office programs before
shutting down?? This only happens if Outlook 2002 is
running. Why is that nescessary? Other prog. just close -
asking you to save if nescessary.

I have the same problem. I am running windows XP SP1 and
whenever I shut down my computer (having ran outlook
while it was on) it tells me that it is waiting for
outlook.exe to close.

Another problem I noticed is that each time I open
Outlook and "close" it, the process is still running when
I open Task Manager. So say I run and close Outlook three
times, there will be three instances of outlook.exe in my
Task Manager Processes tab.

Any ideas?

By the way: Windows XP SP 1, Office XP SP 1
don't know if you need computer specs too?
xp2200, 512 ram
