RE: Outlook on startup cannot shutdown

Okay, that is what I did wrong. I created a new group policy instead of
using the default policy. So now it works just fine. Too bad about not
being able to close it down, since I have people that leave their computers
on all night and for a few days at a time.

Thanks for the help.
