Today's tip is from my son and it works in all versions of Outlook except 2000. If you can make it work in Outlook 2000, please let me know how you did it. My son will be very grateful.

Do you accidentally close Outlook when you mean to minimize it and wish it had a "Are you sure you want to close Outlook?" dialog?

Try this:

1. Open a new message - enter "Keep Outlook Open" as the subject. Don't enter an address in the To field!
2. Save the message to Drafts.
3. Drag it from Drafts to the Outbox.
4. When you exit Outlook, you'll have the chance to cancel closing Outlook.
