Tony, is there some way with 2002 and 2003 to avoid them overwriting each
other's default settings when you switch back and forth between them?

Can I have both Access 2000 and 2003 on the same PC (running XP)?
Yes. I do it all the time.
You need to add explicit path and file names of the appropriate
versions of access to all the shortcuts. For example "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office 97\Office\msaccess.exe". Including the quotes
if you have any spaces in the path name which is very likely.
There are some programs out there which will automatically start the
appropriate version of Access.
ACCVER - Allows you to work with multiple versions of MS Access
databases. Detects the version of Access used to create your MDB, MDE
or MDA files and either reports the version number or starts the
appropriate version of MS Access.
