Closing Outlook before Backup

I backup my Outlook file to AVG online backup (this is free). I need Outlook to close automatically so the backup will be successful. I found a utility that makes it work. This command line utility adds a lot of function to scripts for XP: you can clear the recycle bin and clipboard. You can also close applications so the command is:

nircmd.exe killprocess outlook.exe

You can learn more about this utility by going here.

Make sure you copy all the files to your c:\windows\system32 folder or where ever you have you operating system installed.

Finally, I created a task and scheduled it to run right before my backup.
