Where does the news go?

[kawipoo]

I have outlook 2003 and followed instructions of moving news to the go menu
so you can view newsgroups. It then asked if I wished to make outlook my
default news browser I said yes after which news was no longer visisble in
the go menu. I could not find it anywhere to even put it back onto the menu.
I did a system restore and did the same thing but did not use outlook as the
default news. After this I still had news under the go menu.
Where does the news diappear to when you make outlook the default?

Try the following -- it seems to work for many:

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
/newsonly switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.
