Problem grouping Outlook emails with Outlook and not Word in thetaskbar grouping Options

[sjurbanowski]

I am using Office Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Professional. Until this
morning, all my open Outlook windows, such as New messages, drafts,
replies, forwards, used to be grouped with the Outlook icon in my
taskbar (set to Microsoft Word as my default email editor, if I
uncheck that option it then groups with Outlook). All of a suddent
they are being grouped with Microsoft Word in the taskbar. I would
like to change it back so they get grouped with Outlook and kept
separate from non-email Word documents. I've looked
at options in Word and Outlook, but have not been able to figure out
how to do this. Everything else (Excel, IE, etc.) gets grouped as
before. It is only the email edit windows that have changed. I tried
resetting my taskbar to the default settings but that didn't do
anything. I checked my System Restore and it looks like (pretty much
right around the time this happened) that 3 Windows security patches
were installed: Windows XP KB944533, KB943055, and KB946026. Help!
Any ideas as to how to fix this problem?? I've search all over the
internet and cannot find any resolution to this.

Do you have the latest Outlook 2003 patches?

This was an issue off and on with outlook 2003, but I thought it was fixed.

I haven't specifically installed any Outlook 2003 patches; do you know
which one I would need? My Outlook info right now says: Microsoft
Office Outlook 2003 (11.8118.8132) SP2. I don't see any Outlook
patches in my Add/Remove programs. I just don't understand why it
worked fine and stopped working for no reason.

go to microsoft update and see what's available. You're at least 1 service
patch behind.
