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 searching google.groups.com and finding no answer, Ron asked:
| I guess I am slow, because I cannot figure out or see where I can
| create a custom button with that shortcut. As other users, if I move
| the "news" button from the default go menu, it creates an invalid
| shortcut error when using.
|
| || perhaps a shortcut?
|| "%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /outnews
||
|| ||| Instead of putting the news button on the go menu, can I create a
||| custom button directly on the toolbar for OE?
|||
||| Also, in the "folder list" view, is there a way to get rid of the
||| window with "folder sizes" and "data file management" in it?
|||
||| Thanks!~
