Where is News?

[gezgin]

I had put News command to the task bar, but when I dragged it to Customize
window back, it disappeared and it is neither in Toolbar nor in Customize
window. I uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook it did not come back. Now I
can not use Outlook as my News Reader. How can I bring it back and use it
again?

Are we to assume Outlook 2003?
If so, 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.

Thanks Russ! I had this happen to me too. That fixed it and the News is
now in the Go menu.

on Windows 2003 for outlook 2003 the only thing that was
needed was to select outlook express as the default news
reader.
