Damn...I was hoping it wasn't the "known issue" answer.....I hate to go tell this guy I've wasted all this time fixing a known issue....LOL But at least the REST of his computer is all clean and running topknotch But Outlook just keeps going and going and going and going and going and goin....... Weird that all the years I ran Outlook 2000 on all my machines and I never had this problem....but I do remember a couple years back when Capn Patt had this sultry voice telling him he had mail and it kept talking to him after he shut Outlook down and we couldn't figure out why....but then the group got lost in the game of guessing who the sultry voice belonged to and we forgot all about his problem....LOL Btw....for anyone who remembers that....the sultry voice was me!!

It causes problems when you are accessing the same email folders from different machines on a network because you think you closed it and yet it is still running after you've exited it. I've always just assumed it's a program quirk and have resolved myself to do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and check it every time I want or need to make sure it's really closed. If you ever do find the solution please share it with me too. Oh yeah, if you are using Windows 2000 with Outlook, don't just look for it running in the CTRL-ALT-DEL>Task Manager>Applications list. Be sure to check the CTRL-ALT-DEL>Task Manager>Processes tab too because I've found that sometimes it's still listed in the Processes list even when it is not in the Applications list.
