[Raul]

When closing outlook 2003 it closes but Winword.exe and Outlook.exe stays in
memory, they have to be closed with the Task manager.
Any help?
Thank you.

Thank you Brian, the problem was Itunes Addin that installed by itself, when
I deselected the problem went away.

I had the same problem, and the article listed solved the problem.

While I disabled a few other add-ins, the iTunes app also was listed, which
I disabled as well.

Many thanks for ending this annoying problem. With Outlook / Word still
running, my automatic back-up programs would not back up Outlook, and had
some problems with backing up documents as well.

Good job.

As long as Outlook is running, it has an exclusive lock on the data store and
no backup program will make a reliable copy of it.
