    Hey all,

    I've got Win2K and Office 2003.
    I usually have Outlook running, but when it's minimized it doesn't have a button on the task bar -- just a little icon down by the clock.

    I keep forgetting about it and when I click "Shutdown", I will come back a few hours later and find my PC hung on an error message "are you sure you want to close Outlook?".....

    bah.....

    I thought there was a way to use gpedit.msc to give Shutdown the ability to automatically end programs so it wouldn't give the stupid prompt, but I can't find it in the gpedit help (shock!), but I also couldn't find anything searching the net (maybe I'm using the wrong search terms...).

    Anyway, if one of you kind folks could tell me how to make the Shutdown function just close Outlook on it's own, I'd really appreciate it.

    TIA!!!
