I recently upgraded to XP and Office2003.
Iwant to use outlook as my newsgroup user. I followed the instructions about
placing the option under the "Go" menu. It worked for a while but it now no
longer shows under the full "Go" menu nor is it available under the
customise buttons if I try to repeat the process. Newsgroups work fine on
Outlook Express event though it is not configured as the default reader. Any
suggestions

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.

Note, Outlook is not a news reader. It always invokes OE.
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.
 
Thank you
