[mso] Outlook 2000 blocking itself

If I inadvertently double-click the Outlook shortcut more than once before
an instance of Outlook has opened, I find that it never opens.  It appears
to block itself.  The only way out of this I have found (apart from
restarting) is to go into Task Manager, scroll to the bottom of the
Processes and end instances of OUTLOOK.EXE successively until there are two
left, when Outlook will open.

Is this a known "feature" and should I really see TWO instances of
OUTLOOK.EXE (under normal conditions), both with quite a hefty memory usage?
