Does anyone know if there is a way and if so how to have Windows Live Mail
open by default to Newsgroups?

I don't use it for Mail. I just use it for these newsgroups. Every time I
open it, I have to click on Newsgroups. I would like to be able to open
Windows Live Mail and have it directly open to Newsgroups.

I don't seem to be able to fine anything for that in Options.

Thanks,
Ed.
 
Windows Live Mail's legacy function from its Outlook Express days as the
Outlook Newsreader is still available.

Simply create a short cut that starts it with the newsreader switch:

"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe" /outnews
 
Thanks for the replies. I went to the public. windows.live.mail.desktop
newsgroup as one of you had suggested and posted. I got replies to add /news
at the end in the target path for the shortcut to Windows Live Mail.

That is working just as I wanted.

Thanks again for that applied and helped,
Ed.
