Exit Outlook 2007 from batch file?

[doucettea]

Hi all,
Is there a way to exit all open outlook 2007 windows from a batch file? I'm
having some issues with the .bat that I use for weekly backup (at home). It
won't copy the .pst file over unless outlook is exited first.
Thanks for any help,
Ari

killfile is one, there are other methods, depending on your o/s

Is killfile a commercial program? If so, I can't seem to find where to obtain it - I'm having the same problem, I use Acronis Truimage to backup every night on a scheduled basis, and before I migrated from Thunderbird, I could backup without bringing down my mail client. Of course, Outlook 2007 won't allow this, and I keep forgetting to bring down Outlook before going to bed. I'm using XP on two computers and Vista Home on the other two - what "other methods" could I use? Thanks,
