Outlook Express wants to load when Outlook 2003 starts

[Scott]

Hi,

Everytime I load Outlook 2003, the "Manage Identities"
box shows up for Outlook Express within two seconds.
Anyone know why OE is trying to start when I load up
Outlook 2003?

Thanks

Which application is set as the Default (in Internet Explorer,
Tools>Internet Options>Programs tab)? I'm wondering if a shared resource
isn't being touched and you have some sort of registration issue. You might
try toggling the default, click Apply and then restart Outlook 2003.

I'll check further with some solution notes when I get into the office. Let
me know what happens with my suggestion.

Thanks!

Yes, I checked the default settings. Outlook seems to be
the default program.

Scott,

Try flipping them - make Outlook Express the default and click Apply>OK,
then make Outlook the defaul and click Apply>OK. This may clear up what is
happening.

I found some old correspondence that talked about Add-ins, but the problem
wasn't exactly the same. Still, you can launch Outlook in Safe mode and
test - Start>Run>then type "outlook.exe /safe" without quotes and click
OK....does it happen?
