I had the issue of outlook crashing all the time and leaving multiple outlook.exe's running, I found it easy to just make a shortcut on the desktop called "fix crashed outlook" which linked to a batch file under c:\batch\
inside the batch file I put taskkill /f /im outlook.exe that worked wonderfully for my cleints who refused to reboot their machines, I even had one set to run this via schedualed task, every day at 3am, its still running everyday he leaves outlook on, he comes back and outlook is shut, he complained about it for a while, but then he realised that it wasn't hanging any more in the middle of the day, heh On 28/03/2008, Istvan Köpe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I had a similar problem with Outlook 2003, but in my case the users were > sending mails to hundreds of mail addresses.
