News missing

[Jeff]

I wnet through the instructions to add News to my Go
button. However, I missed the Go button and it ended up
on the Menu Bar. when I tried to use it from there it
tried to open some folder.

So, I opened the Customize to see if I could get it back
into there and I would re-drag it to Go. Well it allowed
me to drag it to the Customize box when it was open but
now the News option is gone. I checked all the
customizable options and it is nowhere to be found.

I ran the Detect and Repair but that didn't fix it.

Where is my News option???

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.
