Reading Newsgroups w/Outlook Express

K

Keith

I created a button/link to Outlook Express in the Outlook 2003 tool bar to
view the newsgroups in Outlook Express. All was working perfectly until I
rebooted. Now when I click on the button, it takes me to Microsoft Explorer
and lists a whole bunch of files that makes no sense to me.

Can someone help me figure this out and correct it?

Thanks much...Keith

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, click the "Don't ask me again" box and then click the No button.

You may need to reset the menu or toolbar using Tools, customize.
