Will Outlook ask me each time I open it that it wants to be confirmed the
default email program. Thanks for your help.

On a bare XP SP2 system, Outlook Express is set as the default email

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?
