OutlookAltF4

This makes it so pressing Alt+F4 in Outlook minimizes it instead of closing it.

There are no modifications being made to any program. This is simply an AuotHotkey script that detects when Alt+F4 is pressed on an active Outlook.exe window and minimized the window instead. The interaction occurs between User<>Windows.

Install

Download and move it into your Startup folder. Then run it.

To get to the Startup folder, press Win+R which will open Run, then type shell:startup and press enter. The Startup folder contains programs that will automatically run when you log on.

Usage

With the Outlook window active, press Alt+F4. It should minimize the window instead of ending the program.

Troubleshooting

If Alt+F4 is ending Outlook even though OutlookAltF4.exe is running:

  • Make sure you are not running Outlook as Administrator
  • If it's still not working, check Issues and if you don't find your answer, make a new issue
