Hi,
I tried to customize the standard tool bar by adding the "News" icon to the
"Go" menu but after I disconnected from Outlook and then later connected to
Outlook, the "News" icon no longer appeared.

I tried to readd the icon again, but the "News" icon no longer appeared in
the "Customize" option's "Command" section with "Go" as the "selection."

Is there a way to recover this icon.

To add the icon:
Right click on standard toolbar pull down menu.
Select "Add/Remove" buttons and the "Customize."

I tried to reset the toolbar but I'm in the same situation.

I searched on google but no luck, also searched the knowledge base.

Thank you.
 
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.
