Why does Outlook 2007 Require 9,999 GDI Objects?

[Keith Hill [MVP]]

Lately my Outlook 2007 (and Vista for that matter) start leaving a lot of
screen turds. When I look at task manaager I can see that Outlook is using
9,999 GDI objects. The next closest if IExplorer at 1,443 GDI objects.
That's got to be a bug!

What addins do you have installed?

(The one installed on this system is using just 842. IE is using 1544 and
176960K of memory with, oh about 20 tabs open.)

Hmm I'm looking for a Tools -> Add-in Manager menu item but I don't see one.
I haven't installed any add-ins but I work in an enterprise environment so
who knows what they've installed. How can I find what add-ins are loaded?

BTW with an uptime of less than a day, I'm already up to 3,944 GDI objects.
I had been running for about 28 days before when it hit 10,000.

Now my uptime is at 23 hours and I'm up to 5000 GDI objects. I looked at Outlook with ProcessExplorer and this particular thread stands out:

This thread has been around for the entire time I've been looking at the threads (5 minutes) and the stack is always the same.
