Outlook changing outlook express

[car crash]

I just installed Office 2003 and I use OE as my mail default client.
For whatever reason every time I reboot the computer Microsoft changes
all my OE icons to Outlook icons. When I open the program Outlook
opens and not OE. Does anyone know how to permanently stop this ?
Why is it doing that ?
Thank you.

Set the default mail client in Control Panel-> Internet Options-> tab
