Hi,

My NEWS button on my Toolbar Office 2003 was causing problems so I
dragged it back into the Commands/Web section from where I originally
dragged it.

Seems to have gone altogether now.

I have checked all Categories but can't locate it.
Any ideas on how to get it back please?

Thanks.

Griff.
 
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.

Brilliant!!
Worked a treat.
Thanks very much, thought XP was corrupted.
Is this a bug though or what?

Not a bug, working as designed, just not very intuitive.

Thanks again Milly,

The reason that I removed the button in the first place is that when I
clicked it, it kept opening a Folder named 1033 on top of Outlook which
listed about 20 files - weird?

Do you know why this might have been?
