Outlook 2003 News Tool Button

[Larry]

Added the news button into the GO pull down menu as intructed in the help
file, went to news reader one time only and worked fine. Now the button does
not appear in either the pull down or the custimized portion to add again.
It doess show up at times in the pull down but opes the explorer and takes
me to a directory. Tried rebuilding with the repair button but did nothing.

NOTE: This done the exact samething on another machine running Outlook
2003.. Had to post this from home in 2000.

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.
