I use Outlook in the same way that you do. You will find that Outlook resets itself to be the default email programme on a regular basis - many Office updates via Microsoft Update reset the default email client, including updates of the Outlook Junk Mail list. There are instructions on stopping this happening at the following location http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=933450 but Brian Livingstone (http://windowssecrets.com/) suggests that it is easier to reset it manually.
