How can I make a shortcut for outlook news. I am using Outlook 2002 and it
appears to use a version of outlook express to view newsgroups but if I make
a shortcut to msimn.exe it says that outlook express is not my default
newsreader. Are there any command switches to the outlook.exe file to get
it to open news?
Thanks in advance.

/newsonly or /outnews

or just open OE from the desktop (or quick launch) - use either switch to
open in a news-only mode.
 
Thank you kindly

New Problem
Your suggestions worked fine. I made a shortcut in my outlook shortcut bar
for news only. Now if I am using Outlook and got to View/Go To/News it
opens Outlook Express Mail & News (not news only). How do I get it to open
the news folder only?
