Preventing Outlook from launching on Windows XP startup

P

Pyrrhuloxia

I have a Windows XP Pro machine with Office XP loaded. Windows currently
launches Microsoft Outlook on startup. I would like to prevent this from
happening. I have looked in the usual places where apps get started and I
cannot make this happen (see below). Any help will be appreciated.

Steps tried:

1) Looked for something familiar in WIN.INI and in the Startup Folder
without success.

2) Looked in the usual spots in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Userinit]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]

No luck.

Sincerely,

Pyrrhuloxia

Windows shouldn't automatically launch Outlook... Maybe another applications
mounts Outlook. (Maybe a mobile phone synchronizer or sth)...Try disabling
other apps too.
