Opening Outlook Express Automatically Opens Internet Explorer

Since I ran the Comcast transition (from ATTBI) software
opening Outlook Express automatically opens Internet
Explorer to Comcast.net. This tends to lock up my e-mail.
I would like to know how to stop Internet Explorer from
automatically opening when I open Outlook Express.

Comcast gave me the complete runaround and told me I had
to contact microsoft as it was a software problem
I said it only happened after the transition software was
installed and Comcast.net was what opened so they must
have something to do with it. She said yes but their fixes
hadn't worked so I needed to contact Microsoft.

I might add that I have downloaded and installed the
latest version of Internet Explorer 6 SP1 in an attempt to
fix the problem but to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.
