I’d say using the afore mentioned AutoIt (or it’s [smarter] equivalent – Autohotkey) to close Outlook normally, is a better solution.

PS: being open minded when designing polls it’s nothing to be ashamed of. What the Firefox fans are doing now ain’t further than the *crimes* M$ is accused of.

Good day.

We just got to be careful they dont get a script to automate the Admins Job! Yeah Johnny Blaze How’d that joke go over?

He spent a good 2 hours troubleshooting, and just before he was about to re-image, I let him in on the gag. If you put it in the all users startup, even safe mode won't help. I had him reboot and not login, then I used the UNC path to his machine and deleted it. Everyone was rolling!

It is a fun practicle joke program that you can execute on someone elses screen so it will lock the screen, then when they log back in it will automatically lock the screen again. It doesn't hurt any data, and is quickly resolved by a reboot (unless you drop it in their startup folder).

It will work on anything. When I used it for the phone system, I programmed mouse movements and button clicks. I programmed it to type certain things. it is really versatile. It comes with a help program so you can easily look stuff up. When you are done writing and testing your script, you can then compile it into a self running executable to run on other systems.

If we were a few minutes late in the morning logging in he would ask us to note it in the pay system accounting would use, and dock our selves for the time we missed. The problem was that the script wouldn't run when the screen was locked, so I set the computer to reboot everyday about 10 minutes before hand, autolog me in, run the phone system login script then lock the workstation. I never had to dock myself again ;-) An awesome tool for scripting is AutoIt which I used at my last company to autologin to the phone system every morning at 8:00am because my boss at the time was using our call center phone system logs as a sort of time clock.
