    Outlook (MS outlook 2007) is automatically unlocking a locked Win XP machine. I locked my machine and left for a meeting, immediately after opening the outlook. When I came back the system was unlocked. On researching I found that it is due to a weird behavior of Outlook, which unlocks the Machine automatically once it loads completely. Does any one else face the same issue?

      :wtf: Are you serious? Of course everything can happen, but unlocking a password protected computer just after launching outlook? X| PS: Here I've never seen it, probably, though, I've never followed your steps.

            I've experienced this a few times with Outlook and XP when starting up. After logging in and the system is still starting up, click an icon to start Outlook and then Ctrl-Alt-Delete to lock up your workstation. Eventually, the workstation becomes unlocked. It's not 100% reproducible, ie. it doesn't happen always, but I've witnessed it several times. Did you find a KB article about it? :)

              Here's another example of Outlook suckage -- Email to a friend requesting an important document. Twelve exchanges with him on this particular topic. Exactly one email sent to the Junk E-Mail -- the one containing the document I was waiting for. :confused: Unfortunately, none of the other emails mentioned the attachment in the junked one, so I only discovered I'd gotten what I asked for a couple DAYS afterward... (I get enough junk mail that I don't regularly monitor that folder, and it's always bold because there's unread mail in it.) Why on earth would Outlook decide mail from a valid sender to one person -- me -- is junk??? HEY OUTLOOK, STOP TRYING TO BE SMARTER THAN ME! :mad:
