TB is my default e-mail client.

Whenever I open Outlook 2002, Outlook always takes over as the default for mailto: links and I have to go to the preferences to re-set TB as the default.

"Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar" is not checked in Outlook's Tools > Options > Other

Does anybody know how I can prevent Outlook from doing this?

I don't mind hacking the registry if it will solve the inconvenience.

The most interesting part is - I'm on LUA, it takes to add me to the admins group to be able to make the Bat! the default e-mail client, but even from LUA that crappy Outlook is able to hijack the protocol! winXP-SP3 Pro, the Bat! v4.0.38
