"News" Has Vanished

[Mariann E.]

Suddenly "News" disappeared from OL 2000's Menu Bar. I dragged it back where
I had it from Customize | Web | News. However, whenever I close OL and the
reopen it "News" has vanished and I have to repeat the process all over
again (or else I can't get here). Will someone please tell me how to "stick"
News in a way it will stay "stuck"? Thanks.

Try renaming your outcmd.dat file to outcmd.old while Outlook is closed.
Outlook will rebuild the default toolbars the next time you open it. If
your changes to the toolbars "stick" after doing this, then you know it was
the outcmd.dat file causing the problem. Make sure to make a backup of the
new outcmd.dat file so you can restore it if you ever run into the same
problem again.

Note: If you're using Windows 2000 or XP, you'll need to search in hidden
and system folders to find the outcmd.dat file.
