Question : Automatically close Outlook on log off or shutdown

Anyone know how to get Outlook to do this? Is there a registry setting or something? I hate having outlook minimized to my tray and then I go to shutdown my pc and/or reboot and it tells me I have to close outlook before shutting down... ugh microsoft makes retarded software.

anyway is there a workaround for this? I saw some third party software (http://www.daveswebsite.com/software/olshutdown/default.shtml) that someone wrote but I don't think it will do what I want (it is a glorified process killer).

thanks!

Answer : Automatically close Outlook on log off or shutdown

Here is a suggestion given by Sirbounty

**********
Use PsKill: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pskill.shtml
and enable it during the shutdown sequence:

Start->Run->Gpedit.msc
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Scripts\Shutdown

Set up the script to be something like this:

@PSKill processname

Outlook uses outlook.exe process so in the script try giving

@PSKill outlook.exe

Check if this would work
