OL98: Must Close All Outlook Windows to Log On as Different User (180676)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Outlook 98

This article was previously published under Q180676

SYMPTOMS

If you try to shut down Windows 95 by selecting "Close all programs and log on as a different user," Outlook displays the following message:

Please close all Outlook windows before shutting down the system. The easiest way to do this is to choose Exit and Log Off from the File menu.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design. Windows 95 cannot correctly close Outlook when you try to log off and log on as a different user.

RESOLUTION

To prevent this message, close all Outlook windows before attempting to close all programs and log on as a different user.
