Outlook Items grouped as Word Docs on Taskbar

[JMTP]

For the last month or so, several of my users have reported that their
Outlook items, particularly draft emails, are being grouped on the Windows
Taskbar as Word documents. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to
fix it?
We're using XP Professional, SP2 with MS Office 2003.

Thanks for your help.

I suspect they're using Word as their mail editor.

They probably are, but so are most of my other users and they're not having
the same problem. I ran "detect and repair" and that seems to have fixed it
.. . . at least temporarily.
