Next time, try a search of this news group for this FAQ:

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 Milly that did the trick. Also i did try doing a search even did it
thru outlook which searched Microsoft but did not yield any results. I know
I must not have done it correctly, but I feel that is why newsgroups were
created, to help people out.

Again thanks for your time and reply.
