I have used OL 2003 for years to access my newsreader to make these posts.
I have put Office 2007 on my new desktop which is running 64 bit Windows 7.
I tried to put the "News" button on the toolbar (from
Tools/Customize/Commands/Go) but could not find the "News" icon to drag to
the toolbar. In the past the way to get it back was to open IE
(Tools/Internet Options/Programs) and change the program to be the
newsreader to Outlook Express. However when I do that in IE on Windows 7, I
get an entirely different dialog than I am used to and cannot find where to
tell IE what to use for my newsreader. Can someone help me? Thanks in
advance.

It's not there. Outlook 2007 on Windows 7 doesn't have the News command.
 
Thanks Gordon for saving me endless searching.
How do you get into your news reader? Do you just have a separate icon that
you have to put on your taskbar?
Also, what newsreader do you use? I do not even find Outlook Express on my
HD with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Windows 7 doesn't include one. You must download and install one. There are
many. Windows Live Mail is very similar in behavior to Outlook Express.
Others include Xnews, Forte Agent, and Thunderbird.
