Missing menu item--how do I get it back?

I am trying to get the news reader feature to work within
my Outlook. I have added the News item to the Go menu but
it does not show up there after it started once. Noe the
news item no longer show when I go to Customize|commands|Go

Any help would be great on how to get it back. I have
already tried a reinstall and repair but those did not
help.

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.
