I followed the help files for adding "News" to the "Go" drop box on the menu
bar. When I was finished configuring the Outlook default newsreader the
"News" option disappeared not only from the "Go" box, but from the Go
Commands in the Tools/Add buttons/Customize. I employed the command "detect
& repair" without any detectable repair. I restarted the computer, re-opened
Outlook--still nothing. Can anyone tell me where it went or more
importantly, how I might go about getting it back. This is extremely
humorous if not quite annoying. I am a rather good weasel in the noble
pursuit of solutions in the craft of computer repair, however, I am not too
proud to ask for help.
 
Sure. This has been posted here a few thousand times.
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.
 
Thank you much for that! It is good to feel a part of. Now, do I have to
resort to using one of my least favorite programs, the notorious "Outlook
Express," or might there be a way to use my trustworthy "Outlook 2003"? If I
remember correctly, this used to work in "Outlook 2000."

Outlook never has been and probably never will be a news reader. It has
always used OE for news reading. You are not required to use OE. You can use
any news reader you want.
