Indeed, it wouldn't happen every time unless there's something messed up in
Default Programs. Any thoughts on what he meant by "Email manager"? My
though was Outlook suggesting it wasn't the default and asking if it should
take over.

On a bare XP SP2 system, Outlook Express is set as the default email
program. When you install Outlook, ANY version, it will either ask
you if it should be the default email application, or it will just
take over as default whether you want it to or not. This is normal
behavior.

But every time you start it, as the OP says?
