Default Email hyperlinks open Windows Explorer, not Internet Explorer

All of a sudden, links to any web-site embedded in any email (even old ones)
opens up an explorer window to the My Documents folder, with files of type
..exe selected. However copying and pasting the link into IE goes to the
correct site.

Does this indicate a virus/spyware/etc on this PC???? Restarting Outlook
did not fix it.

Outlook 2003, WinXPPro

That did it - thanks so much! I wonder what caused it though?
