You mentioned MS Works Suite. Nope, it if is alerting you of calendar
events than it *is* running in the background. If it weren't then it
couldn't tell you anything.
You never mention WHICH version of Outlook you use. OL2002 requires a
registry edit (some add-ons make the option available) to minimize it to
a tray icon. OL2003, and after, have an option to minimize Outlook to a
tray icon. Obviously you ARE leaving Outlook running can it can
actually do something.
