I put the news option in the go menu and successfully
connected to a newsgroup. When I went back to Outlook
later and I click on news, I go to the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\SYSTEM\MSMAPI\1033

And the news option disappears from the Go menu until I
go to some other folder and come back. Then I get to that
same folder again, but I cannot access my newsgroup, or
any newsgroup, for that matter.
 
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.

You may need to reset the Menu Bar and/or restart Outlook and/or reboot your
machine in order to complete the process. Not everyone is reporting success
with this method, but try it and see what happens. If all else fails, you
can always create a desktop shortcut to Outlook Express and include the
/outnews switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.
