Just live with it then. It's harmless. Usually goes away probably after
indexing is complete.

Here's a solution that worked for me that I posed elsewhere:

I was having the same problem. It appeared that none of my add-ins
were active yet when I checked HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft
\Office\Outlook\Addins the load value was either 2 or 3, I can't
remember. I changed all of these to "0" and haven't had the problem
since - Outlook 2007 flies and no error messages.

You can type it in the windows search bar - click on the windows logo, bottom
left corner and then where it says Start Search - type in Outlook /safe

I am using a Windows Vista laptop with RPC over HTTP in Outlook 2007 and I
get the same error everytime I close. I did create a new profile. I opened
in safe mode and got a message that there was a problem with the add in
"outlookaddin" and it was disabled. I removed the google sidebar and also
disabled the google toolbar add in in Outlook, but am still getting the
message. Any other ideas would be appreciated. I also checked the registry
and set the load values to 0 for the addins that were there.

Thank you Leon but you ignored my question which was how do I find the
"run" option in Windows Vista? A nd without that information I can't follow
the rest of your suggestions.

Click the WIndows button at the far left of the Task bar. There should be a
Run item available.
