Geek Tip #3 – Got Outlook and Itunes and Outlook wont close
Nov 22nd
Outlook 2003 wont close? Check you add-ins manager and com-addins.
More than likely if you run iTunes and Outlook you find that iTunes Com Addin loads at startup and prevents Outlook from closing completly.
By removing the iTunes Com Addin you will loose the ability to sync contacts etc with Outlook but will allow you to close Outlook.
If you have multiple profiles on Outlook this can cause a bit of a bother.

- 1.3M Camera built-in to the top of the screen for taking photos or webcam usage.
