How do I get news reader back!

[Chris Hills]

Hi,

I set up the news reader in Outlook in the normal way and it was OK. By
accident I deleted the "news" from the menu bar. Now I can't find any
way to get it back.

I have tried adding it by the method suggested (categories and commands)
but News is no longer there. Help!

Regards

Chris

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.

Many thanks. It worked. I have to select Outlook express as my news
reader for some reason but it was visible in outlook. So all is well in
the world.
