Re: Outlook and Newgroups

To get the News command back, go back to the Programs tab in Control Panel |
Internet Options and change the default newsreader to Outlook Express. If
OE prompts you to make it your default newsreader the next time you launch
it, clear the "Always perform this check..." box and then click the No
button.

You may need to reset the Menu Bar and/or restart Outlook and/or reboot your
machine in order to complete the process. Not everyone is reporting success
with this method, but try it and see what happens. If all else fails, you
can always create a desktop shortcut to Outlook Express and include the
/outnews switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.

| I am using Outlook 2003. It works great for email. However, when I
| tried to set it up for newsgroups I encountered a strange problem.
| The help screen told me to do the following:
| 1.. On the Standard toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options
| that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT
| and then SHIFT+F10.), click the Toolbar Options arrow .
| 2.. Point to Add or Remove Buttons, and then click Customize.
| 3.. Click the Commands tab.
| 4.. In the Categories list, click Go.
| 5.. In the Commands list, click News, and drag it, without releasing
| the mouse, until it rests over the Go menu. When the menu displays a
| list of commands, point to where you want the command to appear, and
| then release the mouse.
| In the Commands list the News option is not there!! Anyone know what
| to do now!
|
| Thanks.
