Retrieve a deleted button?

[DukeN]

Hello..not sure which newsgroup is the appropriate one, so I've posted
this in the other outlook NG as well.


've discovered a rather 'odd' happening on office.

Was trying to add "News" to the "Go" menu. Instead added it to the
toolbar.

Ended up resetting the toolbar display. Now the "News" button has
totally vanished from everywhere.

Did all updates after, hoping it would fix it, no go.

Did a reinstall, no go.

Any ideas, please, so I can check newsgroups from within Outlook
instead of google's web interface?

Thanks!!

I assume you're using Outlook 2003? Try the following -- it seems to work for
many:

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
/newsonly switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.
