Unable to change default e-mail program to Outlook 2003

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 "sent 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
 
In control panel->internet options, change the default program to Outlook
Express, press okay, and then go back and change it back to Outlook.

Thanks but that's one thing I've already tried & it didn't work either. Any
other thoughts?
Is it significant that in my Program Access & Defaults the e-mail program is
Outlook Express & I don't have the option to change it.
Thanks again.
