Why does Outlook not start when I use the shortcut in Start-up pan

[Jacques]

Hello,
When I close Outlook (when installing a new program f.i.), I can not start
Outlook again from the shortcut in the start-up panel. The message appearing
is " this operation failed". I have to restart my computer to solve the
problem.
This does not happen with the other shorcuts for Word, Excell and Internet.
The same problem when I try to start from C\Program Files\Office\Office
11\Outlook. exe.
Thanks for any possible help.
Best regards.

Perhaps Outlook isn't closing properly. See these two web sites for
