Can't Connect to News

[Terry Smerling]

I was able to connect to Newsgroups via Outlook 2003. Using Customize I
placed an Icon for News on my toolbar. However, on later attempts to access
news in the same fashion, clicking on the "News" icon takes me to this
directory: C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\SYSTEM\MSMAPI\1033. What happened?
How come the icon no longer connects to News? Any ideas or solutions would
be appreciated.

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.
