Under tools, internet options you will see a tab called programs. Within this section you can dictate what program starts for a specific action.

Hope that this helps

You should be able to fire up staroffice and hunt thourgh options or preferences to locate a place to turn off the taking-over of these functions by staroffice. It may say something to the tune of "use staroffice as default mail client" and "use staroffice to edit HTML files (or web pages)"

Just keep poking around. If you can't find it, try this from Sun's FAQ site:
24. Q.
After installing StarOffice 6.0 software, all MS file extensions (doc, xls, ppt) are associated to StarOffice. How do I reverse this?

A.
n general, you are given the option to deselect this association during the installation of StarOffice 6.0 Office Suite. If you did not do so and want to reverse this association to MS Office (you need to have MS Office installed of course) follow these steps:

Click Start and then Run
On the Open box, type the following
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\program.exe /regserver where program.exe represents the appropriate program file for the program that you need to register (word.exe, excel.exe, powerpnt.exe).
