Outlook XP Problem

I've got a weird problem that seems to happen only once every, say, 10 reboots....

Occasionally, when I go to shut down my PC, it brings up the little "Ending Program" for Outlook ... even though I completely quit the application (well obviously it didn't). Nothing shows on the taskbar, and if I hit "end now" the computer ends it and turns off ...

It's not a major issue, just a minor irritation. Suggestions?

Outlook XP with SP1 and Windows XP
 
If you want to TRACK the reason for the app hanging on shutdown,
you can try this. (remember to backup your registry first - Regedit / File / Export )

To add Shutdown Event Tracker, go to Start/Run/Regedit

then navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Reliability

Create a new DWORD value or modify the existing value named "ShutdownReasonUI" and set it to "1" to enable shutdown event tracking. When enabled an additional drop-down option box will be displayed with various planned and unplanned shutdown reasons. Restart Windows for the change to take effect.

The info will be located in the Event Log.
