Default Outlook "Takes over" as default email editor



Hello,

I did a quick Google search for this one, but there didn't seem to be
anything too conclusive, so here I am, back at the "horse's mouth"...this
just may be a "live with", I don't know.

My computer runs Windows XP HE SP2. I use Outlook Express 6 as my email
program. I also have installed Office 2003, which, of course, includes
Outlook. I don't really use Outlook, other than as an evaluation tool.

From time to time, after a reboot, Outlook "takes over" as default email
program. I'll click on the email icon, which actually is the Outlook
Express icon, and Outlook will open. Then I just go to Set Program Access
and Defaults, and set it back to OE, but I can't think of any good reason
why this should be happening, and it happens approx. once a month or so.
It's happened to 2 of my customers, also.

What gives? Is there any way to obviate this minor annoyance?

Any replies are muchly appreciated.

Thank you,

smackedass
