News reader link in Oulook 2003 missing

[Joe Bloggs]

I have just had to re-install Windows (XP) and Office 2003. My preferred
option of getting to read Newsgroups is to drag the "NEWS" link onto menu in
Outlook 2003 and launch from there.

I had problem with this and needed to remove the "News" link, and now it's
vanished! It should be in the "Customize" list but it's not. Can anyone tell
me how to get this set up?

Thanks

Failed! "You can only import binary registry from within the registry
editor"

Tried importing, that failed also.

I DID BACK UP before either of these.

I have just had to re-install Windows (XP) and Office 2003. My preferred
option of getting to read Newsgroups is to drag the "NEWS" link onto menu
in Outlook 2003 and launch from there.

I had problem with this and needed to remove the "News" link, and now
it's vanished! It should be in the "Customize" list but it's not. Can
anyone tell me how to get this set up?

[Don MI]

I have just had to re-install Windows (XP) and Office 2003. My preferred
option of getting to read Newsgroups is to drag the "NEWS" link onto menu
in Outlook 2003 and launch from there.

I had problem with this and needed to remove the "News" link, and now it's
vanished! It should be in the "Customize" list but it's not. Can anyone
tell me how to get this set up?

Thanks

If is still there but is not on the default list of Go commands. Right
click on your Outlook 2003 Toolbar and select Customize. In the Commands tab
select GO {left}. Scroll down the list on right and you will find News.
You can add it to your Go command list, your current toolbar or to a new
toolbar as before.
