Wrong default email client

One of my users has an XP pro machine that insists Outlook Express is the default email program. In Internet Options/Programs, Outlook is selected as the default email program. In Outlook Tools/Options/Other, Make Outlook the default email program is checked. If I start Outlook Express and look at options, it states that OE is NOT the default email program. If I go to control panel and click on Mail, Outlook is the only profile. I have changed each option, applied it, restarted machine, changed it back, etc. with no luck. Checked the registry entry under clients/email and the default is listed as Microsoft Outlook.

Yet if I click Start/Run and type in mailto:whatever OE starts up. I have an app that uses email and it keeps trying to default to OE, which produces a MAPI error.
