I noticed a while back (not sure how long ago) when I tried to use the F2 key to rename a file in windows explorer, if Outlook was running another instance of it would pop up. This is very annoying since I am trying to write a Python program that uses the function keys. I searched Google and Outlook settings to no avail.
If anyone knows how to deal this I would appreciate an answer.
Thanks

What you describe is not normal behaviour for Outlook. I have Outlook open all the time, and use F2 all the time to rename things in several different programs including Explorer.
Check the properties of your shortcut to Outlook, and see if you accidentally set F2 to be the shortcut key.
