News-Toolbar Issues

[webermis]

When I click on "News" for the newsgroup reader that I put in my toolbar,
the following folder opens in Windows Explorer: C:\Program Files\Common
Files\SYSTEM\MSMAPI\1033.

Previously this had opened Outlook Express for the newsgroups.

Does anybody have a fix for this?

Thanks

Make sure OE is set as your default newsreader in Control Panel-> Internet
Options-> tab Programs

Thanks that fixed it - but you must also answer "no" to the option presented
when you initially click on "News" - it is the option to make Outlook
Express the default newsreader. If you say "yes" the next time you click on
"News" again in Outlook, you get the same folder again (I found out the hard
way).
