IE not keeping Outlook as default manager for users on citrix

[TheMac28nearly]

Ive recentely setup a new citrix XP fr3 farm on windows 2003 server/AD. with office 2000 and IEv6.

Whenever a user opens up outlook, it prompts them whether they want outlook as their default manager for mail, calendar etc, just like you would expect when you first open, but it carries on doing it each time you open it

Ive edited the programs tab in IE properties to all use outlook, and it saves them when you check it again, but as soon as you open outlook again for the user, all the settings go back to default and you just get prompted again

they are using outlook for pop3 internet email

Anyone any ideas ?

Sounds like some other software is resetting the options.

Is there other software that could be causing this like AOL, Earthlink etc.?

You can set this in a gpo > User>Windows>IEMaintenance>Programs. Have you set it there?

Trust you are well old buddy?
