It is normal for Outlook to be in the system tray. The menu options it delivers from the system tray are context sensitive and will very depending on whether you are in Outlook, what part of Outlook you are in and the state of things like unread messages etc. I am not aware of a way of disabling this icon but have worked quite happily for years with 2003 by simply ignoring it.
. I cannot replicate the problem you are having with focus in Outlook so it is difficult to advise much further. Outlook 2003 is a very standard application so there should be a good compliance between it and Jaws. Are you using the latest update for your version of Jaws? If not this might be worth a try as FS may have already sorted this problem.

Dear Members, Just had Outlook 2003 installed and it somehow shows up in the system tray. If you right click it, these are the choices: Show Network Warnings (checked) Show Network Connectivity Changes (checked) Show New Mail Desktop Alert (checked) Hide When Minimized Open Outlook The problem is that if you close and then try to re-open Outlook during the same windows session, JAWS can't focus. Also, using the 'open' option which is listed in the system tray yields the same 'no focus' result. Also, under the task manager, Outlook.exe is running on the processes page after you have closed it. Is this normal for 2003? I have to either unload outlook.exe under processes or reboot to use Outlook again in the same windows session. Thanks for any info or trouble-shooting suggestions.
