beginner.

Could you kindly interpret this for me in simple instructions

Thanks

I am using Windows XP Professional.

I have setup Task Scheduler to start Microsoft Outlook to run at 7 AM
each
day. However since I use the program often, I may sometimes leave it
running overnight. Then in the morning I find two instances of Microsoft
Outlook running, the one that I started originally and the one Task
Scheduler started. How do I resolve this




Embed Outlook in a batch file like so:

@echo off
TaskList | find /i "Outlook" || c:\Program . . . . \ outlook.exe
