Sounds like Outlook is sitting in a Run-key or (more likely) in the Startup folder. Go to her START menu, then Programs, then find Startup. If you see Outlook in there, delete it.
To delete it in W9x/NT4, you can right-click on the Start Menu, select Explore, and then go to Programs -> Startup. Find Outlook in the Startup folder and delete it. On W2K/XP machines you can just delete it by right-clicking on it (Outlook in Startup folder) and selecting delete.
If it's not there, it may reside in the Run-key. That's the registry, and you can seriously mess up your Windows load by messing around in there. Heed all the warnings about messing around in there before you try it.
You'll want to look under HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
or
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
to see if Outlook.exe is running there. If so, that's your culprit, and you can remove it. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR REGISTRY AND/OR ARE COMFORTABLE MAKING THE CHANGES - the results of registry editing gone awry can be painful.
