Newsgroups won't stay set in IE Options

[Al]

Hi,
Let me say, I love Outlook 2003, having said that I have
2 issues that I just can't seem to resolve, first is
regarding using Outlook to read newsgroups. I go into
interenet options, programs and set OE as the news
reader, and it works fine for that ONE time, then if I
try to access the newsreader using the news button
(created by following the instructions) it goes to a
folder called 1033, and I have to go back to IE options
and reset OE as the newsreader because it has been
changed to a blank field. I hope this makes sense. This
doesn't happen on my laptop, at least so far.

Second, and just an annoyance more than a problem, quite
often I'm asked if I want IE as my default browser (even
though it is checked) and OE as my default newsreader
(when it works). How do I stop from getting these
constantly? This happens on both my desktop and laptop,
but I'm sure the fix will apply to both.

Thanks for your time and help.

Happy Holidays,
Al
