Cannot Access Newsgroups
I went to creat the Go to "News" link in the Outlook
Toolbar Commands, but it is not there? I would appreciate advice on how I can gain access to this "News" link and access Newsgroups. The News Reeder is not starting automatically either. Help appreciated. Bill

Cannot Access Newsgroup Reader In Outlook 03
I would like to add to my earlier post below. After
doing two system restores, I have learned the following: In Outlook 2003 I am able to access "NEW" under Toolbar Commands and place it in the GO menu and start the Newsgroup Reader, but after using it and closing it down, the NEWS link in GO is gone as is NEWS under Toolbar GO Command. Once gone I cannot access the Newsgroup Reader from Outlook and via a web site like Microsoft TechNet where I get an error the Newsgroup Reader link is unavailable. The only way I have been able to get it back is to do a system restore. Help!

Cannot Access Newsgroup Reader In Outlook 03
try.. 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. http://faq.outlookmvps.org/archives/000710.html -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.onenote-tips.net/ "Bill" wrote in message ...

Cannot Access Newsgroup Reader In Outlook 03
Outlook doesn't have native news support and they removed the "Outlook
Newsreader" entry from Internet Explorer's list because people kept thinking it was Outlook - and the blank listing causes problems. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.onenote-tips.net/ "Bill" wrote in message ...

Cannot Access Newsgroup Reader In Outlook 03
Bill said in :
It worked, Thank you! Unless you were already reading e-mails and had Outlook open, wouldn't it be easier and faster to just open Outlook Express itself? OE is the NNTP (network news transfer protocol) client, not Outlook. If you need quick 1-button access, just put a shortcut to OE in the QuickLaunch toolbar. Having to open Outlook to then click on a News button to then open OE seems a lot of wasted resources and time.

Cannot Access Newsgroup Reader In Outlook 03
Yes it would. I did not realize OE was the reader. I had not used OE since
installing Outlook a couple years ago. Looks like I'm good to go for accessing newsgroup via Outlook and OE. Thanks for the posting. Bill "*Vanguard*" wrote in message ...
