News Reader Default

[Guest]

How do I reset my news reader to the default setting?

I was just upgraded to Outlook 2003 and my news groups were fine but I was
prompted to make something my default news reader and I clicked it but now
when I pick the News button, it opens a window displaying files on my hard
drive...

Thanks for any help y'all can give.

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, click the "Don't ask me again" box and then click the No button.

You may need to reset the menu or toolbar using Tools, customize.
