Outlook 2000 not fully closing

Will

Windows XP Home Edition
Outlook 2000

Everytime I open and close Outlook, another instance of the program will
show up in Windows Task Manager. If I open and close Outlook three
times, there will be three instances of Outlook in Windows Task Manager.
I also get an email notification in the system tray, with the program
closed, even though I've unchecked the notification box.

Know what's going on?

Thanks.

Some common reasons why Outlook will not shut down completely when you click
either the X or Exit:

1. PDA synchronization software with your PDA in the cradle.
2. WinFax Pro (especially 10.02 in Outlook 2003) - contact their support
for an alleged fix.
3. Franklin-Cover Plan Plus!
4. COM Add-ins.
5. Mail reminder add-ins that keep a stub of Outlook open in the background
to check for new mail and fire reminders.
6. Anti-virus/firewall programs that are set to scan incoming and outgoing
mail.

Here is a partial list of programs that may keep outlook running "hidden" -
there are many other programs that will cause it.
