I have the Outlook Personal Folders Backup installed and it would almost always fail to perform a backup because a file or files would be in use. Nothing I’ve tried would allow it to work. Once I installed Outlook KnockOut, the next time Outlook exited, KnockOut kicked in and the Personal Folders Backup program worked. Sweet.

When I use the task manager method to kill Outlook, I often get messages when restarting about my PST files being closed inproperly, and they have to be scanned. I haven’t yet noticed any data loss, but it scares me.

I found a better way to close Outlook, and it seems to work all the time. When I close it, but it doesn’t really close, I get an Outlook icon in the system tray. If I double click this icon, Outlook will start again, but none of the addins will be running. Then when I close again, it will close clean.
