Outlook 2003 News Viewer

[Ray]

I have tried to add the Outlook 2003 News Reader to the 'Go' toolbar command
(as per MS Outlook help file) which seemed to work OK but on relaunching
Outlook all trace of 'News' has disappeared - how can I make a permanent
link to view newsgroups either from the desktop or within Outlook (I don't
want to have to use Outlook Express).

About ten seconds with a search engine in this newsgroup will have your
answer.

I am sorry Brian but my search only found two instances of news, one of
which was yours. I have just posted to the group looking an answer. If you
have one could you possibly let me know

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.
