Lost "newsgroup" command setting up newsgroups

[Guest]

I'm attempting to add "news" to my "Go" menu. Somehow I've lost the "news"
command and can't locate it.

Suggestions?

Suggest posting your Outlook version next time. It matters.
Suggesting reading before you post. No question has been answered more often

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.

Russ,

With all due respect some of us aren't as nimble afoot as others when it
comes to this world.

Still, I appreciate your assistance.

I forgot to add that the solution posted only applies to Outlook 2003. I
hope that's what you are using.
Old timers like me read these posts on NNTP. I keep forgetting that some of
you are innocently redirected here from Microsoft's web based sites and may
not be familiar with common NNTP conventions and etiquette. Sorry.

I am using Outlook 2003 and your answer did help.

While I was redirected to this site I should have taken the time to poke
around more than I did.

Thanks to you and the others who provide this assistance.

Cheers,
