In my case it was itunes Outlook Add-In that prevented Outlook from shutting down properly!!
After disabling it in Outlook by going to Tools--Options--Other Tab--Advanced Options--COM Add-Ins.. and unchecking the box from the iTunes Outlook Add In, Outlook is now shutting down when I close it!!

There is an issue with Outlook 2007 running on Vista in that after trialling and uninstalling the Beta version, and then installing the full version, the program oftens returns an "Eye Call" error on shut-down and the only way to close the program is via the Task Manager. After querying this with Microsoft they concluded it was due to a relic of the Beta version still lurking somewhere in the system. This makes sense because I don't have the problem on my laptop and the only difference was that I didn't try the Beta version on that computer.

I found the wonderfully helpful Google Desktop can also interfere with Outlook shut downs by not properly closing the PST file. After disabling Google Desktop though msconfig, the problem stopped occurring every startup.

I use a 3rd party add-in, "Shutdown Add-in for Microsoft Outlook", to solve this problem. It prevents most of the scenarios that cause Outlook to remain running in the background. See the authors website for details:
