With Outlook Express it is rather straight forward, however - using
"Help" it disappear from the go command.

Outlook does not, nor has it ever, access newsgroups. It uses Outlook
Express or Windows Mail for that. You can buy NNTP add-ins, but it's not
native to Outlook.

For an explanation of what you're seeing, see this:

That is not exactly technically true. You CAN set your Exchange Server to
pull news groups, and access them through Public Folders(if I remember
correctly) in Outlook. I had that set up at one of the companies I used to
work for. Total MS house, heavy SQL programming, etc. Users would submit a
request for a pertinent group, i.e. Outlook, and I would add it to the
Exchange server. This way we could maintain control of the profiles for a
business environment, and still give our users access to the resources they
needed.
