STOP USING TASK MANAGER TO KILL OUTLOOK.EXE!

Are you frustrated like I am that Microsoft^** Outlook* doesn't shutdown. When you exit Outlook does it stay running the background wasting system resources? We'll if you are then you need Shutdown Addin.

Outlook is notorious for hanging around in the background when a user exits the application. The cause of this is partly a random behavior of Outlook itself and most often a user installed addin that does not release itself from Outlook correctly. Typically, the solution is to uninstall the offending addin. However, if you really like an addin and can't wait for the developer to fix it or have no addin's installed and Outlook STILL stays running the background then you'll want to try Shutdown Addin.

Shutdown Addin works by hooking into events triggered by Outlook and invoking a series of commands to help Outlook exit. After a certain timeout period, if Outlook still doesn't exit, then the process is forcefully exited.

Once installed, Shutdown Addin inserts a property page into Outlook's Tools->Options dialog that allows you to quickly and easily change any of Shutdown Addins options. You can control the following options: Enable/Disablethe addin Increase or Decrease the time you want Shutdown Addin to wait before forcing Outlook close. Enable or Disable the shutdown process dialog that Shutdown Addin displays when Outlook exists.

Requirements

Known Issues

This product is known to conflict with Outlook addin's that perform their functionality ONLY when Outlook exits. Microsoft's backup utility for Outlook is on of these addin's and that Shutdown Addin may interfere with. In these cases you may need to increase the shutdown delay time to give the addin enough time to complete its work before Shutdown Addin forces Outlook to exit.
