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.

After furious head scratching, Bob asked:
| Found it! Went into Start Programs Outlook Express went to news it
| asked if I wanted to make outlook express my default news reader,
| answered yes, everything came back OK. I still wonder why Sh... like
| this happens though. Never changed any settings on the computer
| before this problewm showed up. It keeps hapening once in a while on
| diferent computers. Runing Nav, no external unknown processes or
| viruses found to explain this.
|
| Anybody got any ideas?
| Thanks,
