Group Outlook emails with Outlook and not Word in the taskbargrouping


Recommended Posts

I am using Office Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Professional. Until this

morning, all my open Outlook windows, such as New messages, drafts,

replies, forwards, used to be grouped with the Outlook icon in my

taskbar (set to Microsoft Word as my default email editor). All of a

suddent they are being grouped with Microsoft Word in

the taskbar. I would like to change it back so they get grouped with

Outlook and kept separate from non-email Word documents. I've looked

at options in Word and Outlook, but have not been able to figure out

how to do this. Everything else (Excel, IE, etc.) gets grouped as

before. It is only the email edit windows that have changed. I've

search all over the internet and cannot find any resolution to this.

I tried resetting my taskbar to the default settings but that didn't

do anything. I checked my System Restore and it looks like (pretty

much right around the time this happened) that 3 Windows security

patches were installed: Windows XP KB944533, KB943055, and KB946026.

Help! Any ideas as to how to fix this problem??

Your problem has to do with Outlook and it's settings and NOTHING to

do with XP. You need to ask in a group with OUTLOOK in the title.

 

Ask elsewhere
