Can't set Outlook as default mail client in certain situations

HI,
Everywhere I've checked on my computer the default e-mail program is listed
as Outlook 2003.
The default e-mail in Internet Explorer is Outlook. The URL:MailTo Protocol
in Folder Options/File Types is Outlook. However when I use the "send to,
mail recipient" feature, or Choose "e-mail this file" in File and Folder
tasks in My Computer it automatically goes to Outlook Express. Mail To
Hyperlinks use Outlook.

Operating system is XP Home SP2 - updated regularly.
Outlook Version is 2003 SP1 (part of office pro 2003)

Does anyone know what the problem may be.?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Lesley
 
Try starting Outlook with the /CheckClient command line switch.
