I had the news button on my desktop but then with the
toolbar customizer open I dragged it to Go in the
customizer. I now want to put it back on the toolbar but
can not find it in the Go Menu anymore. I have looked in
the other menus with no luck. I have tried to reset the
menu with no luck so far. I also have looked for the file
outcmd.dat but can not find it. Can anyone help me with
this issue.

Thanks,
Dave Marden
 
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.
