You create a program using something like Visual Basic that looks at all running applications at a selected interval, and if it finds that Outlook is not running, starts it automatically. That is relatively easy to do, if you have any VB experience. The program can be set up to run as a service, or simply as a background program that starts when Windows starts. The same application could also have the capability to check for unread e-mails and pop up an annoying reminder. If you have not done something like this, you might be able to get someone at vbforums.com to code it for you for a reasonable fee. Of course, if your users have admin rights, and know how, they can shut down this program as well as Outlook.
