Outlook 2003 Go menu...

I have installed Outlook 2003 with the rets of the office suite, the 'news'
option to the Go menu, to launch my news readers, but now the blasted option
has gone from both the go menu, and the customise commands windows, from
where I first got the option, I have checked the rest of the menu's in case
I accidently added the news option to the wrong one, but it just isn't
anywhere to be seen.

Has anyone got any ideas how to get it back?
 
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.
 
That's the ticket, worked a treat, thank you very much for your time and
help.
