Outlook 2000 in memory after program exit. Multiple taskbar icons

[ItascaCP]

Using Windows XP, after exiting Outlook 2000 a few times, I see multiple
versions of it in the Processes tab of Windows Task Manager.
Also on the Taskbar multiple Outlook icons are displayed but if I click on
one of them I get an Outlook error message.

Some common reasons why Outlook will not shut down completely when you click either the X or Exit:

1. PDA synchronization software with your PDA in the cradle.
2. WinFax Pro (especially 10.02 in Outlook 2003) - contact their support for an alleged fix.
3. Franklin-Covey Plan Plus!
4. COM Add-ins.
5. Mail reminder add-ins that keep a stub of Outlook open in the background to check for new mail and fire reminders.
6. Anti-virus/firewall programs that are set to scan incoming and outgoing mail.
