Well. Outlook Express never appears in add-remove. Trying to uninstall it
was the first thing I attempted when the proble occured.

Were you looking in Add/Remove Programs or Add/Remove Windows Components?

QED: In your reply on 12 Sept-09, you told us that clearing the checkbox for
OE in CONTROL PANEL | INDEXING OPTIONS | MODIFY corrected the problem. Is
that checkbox rechecked now?

QED: Does the behavior persist if you uninstall Windows Desktop Search via
Add/Remove Programs?

It never does appear in "Add/Remove Programs". It appears in the sidebar
option to "Add/Remove Windows Components". As stated by PA Bear.

And then AFAIK that only removes ACCESS to it - it doesn't actually
uninstall OE because it's an integral part of IE6....

And IE 6 is an integrated into XP,

I can confirm this...I had been removing the checkmark for OE thinking I was uninstalling the program, but it apparently it's just removing access as the dialog states in add/remove windows components. You can confirm after unchecking by going to run and typing msimn.exe. You'll continue to get windows updates for OE as well.

I started to look into this a little more when a user called in saying he was getting the message and I knew I had 'unistalled' OE on his laptop and it in fact had never even been used. Hopefully disabling indexing of OE in desktop search will take care of the issue.
