Apologies for the silly question but I am curious. My work machine is running XP Pro and Outlook 2007. When I log on in the morning, I do not get the MS Exchange login box until I start Outlook. At home, I have Outlook 2007 on a Vista Ultimate box and when I log on to windows, as part of the start up process, the login prompt for MS Exchange appears automatically and whether or not I start Outlook. I cannot see any reference to Outlook in the start up problems. How do I either disable this on my home machine or enable it on my work machine?
It could be something that has hooks into Outlook. Like ActiveSync of Blackberry desktop or one of dozens more programs that hook into Outlook. Those programs launch at startup and attempt to hook in to OL which pops your logon.

There must be something (a gadget?) in Vista that depends on Outlook. I don't use Vista (ptui) so I can't tell you what that could be or how to enable it. However, you could add a shortcut to Outlook in your startup folder in XP if you want this (I wouldn't, myself).
