Lost "news" from toolbar customization

[Guest]

I was trying to add the newsreader to my "go" menu, and I did something
wrong. Now, the "news" command is gone from my menu customization dialogue
box. How can I get it back and get my Outlook set up to read newsgroups?

Make sure you've set OE as the default newsreader in Control Panel->
Internet Options-> tab Programs

Ok, I have set OE as my default, and I have gotten "News" back into my menu
bar. After I got the 'News' option back, I clicked on it the first time and
it worked correctly. Now, when I click on "News", instead of opening the
default reader, a folder opens up. Here is the path;

C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\SYSTEM\1033

I am really confused about this one....

Reset your websettings (also on the Program tab) and try again.

You must also set OE _not_ to be the default newsreader within the
application itself. Another example of classic Microsoft logic:
1. OE must be set as default newsreader in Control Panel
2. OE must be set _not_ to be the default newsreader in OE.
Got it?

Ok. I have realized that everytime I click on "News" in the menu bar of
Outlook, the newsreader works ONCE. Then, in control panel, internet
options, OE gets removed as my default reader. I have to go in every single
time I want to use Outlook as my news reader and reenter OE as my default
reader.

....Still baffled....
