Disappearing Menu Items

[Jerry]

I added News to the Go menu of Outlook 2003 as described in the help files.
This worked fine for a few days but then it disappeared from the menu list.

Even worse it isn't in the Customise options any more so I can't add it
again. Now I can only access News groups by starting Outlook Express
directly.

Anyone know how to add it to the menu items again please?

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.
