Launching IE changes file type settings

We need Word documents to be viewed within the browser window. We enable this by changing the file type settings for DOC files so that 'browse in same window' is checked (we're running IE 6.0.2800.1106 on Windows 2000).

However, whenever a new instance of IE is launched - and this happens as soon as it is launched - the file type settings for DOC files get overwritten and 'browse in same window' gets cleared.

Any idea what would be causing this? We have an automatic configuration script but it doesn't have anything in it that should change file type settings. I'd be surprised if a config script was capable of this!
