Outlook News gets lost

[Jeff Needle]

Here's a kooky problem. I tried clicking on "News" in Outlook 2003, one of
the options at the top of the screen. Worked fine. Next day, it broke,
displayed the contents of a Windows folder. Out of curiosity, I went to
Control Panel -- Internet Options -- Programs, and saw that the entry next
to News was blank. I selected Outlook Express as my newsreader (Outlook
alone was not on the drop-down menu). I saved the changes, went back to
Outlook, "News" worked fine. Next morning, lo and behold, it didn't work.
Back to Control Panel stuff, and once again, the Program for News was blank.

This has happened maybe five or six times over the next few days. Has
anyone else ever experienced this? I'm on WinXP SR2. Thanks!
