outlook 2003 as default newgroup reader

[tazoguy]

Hello group,

I just purchased office 2003 and everything works ok accept I am having
issues getting Outlook to be my default newsgroup reader. Now I know Outlook
express is actually the reader but I have always used Outlook as the source
for accessing it.
I followed the help instructions in Outlook help which told me to add the
"news" link to the "go" toolbar but I did that and it never added it and
when I went back to retry it the "news" option was no longer in the category
menu, so now I'm stuck. If anyone can offer assistance with this it would be
appreciated, thanks.

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.

I reset the outlook toolbar once and the option to drag the news option to
the go menu came back but when I selected it and it brought up OE and then
it disappeared again, LOL I think I will give up and the only option for
newsreaders in the program option is OE, lol but thanks for responding
anyway, take care.
