Customizing OL 2000

[bill t.]

Suddenly I can't get the "News" to stick when I add it to my toolbar. I can
drag it there and it will stay until I close OL. When I reopen OL "News" is
gone. Any ideas? Thanks.

You're sure this is Outlook 2000? We're only seeing this problem reported in
Outlook 2003.

Positive. This is the second or third time this has happened. I have no idea
what starts it. I did do a Detect & Repair to no avail.

I just reset the Menu Bar. I couldn't find a default Newsreader in the
Control Panel (XP Pro) but when I open newsgroups the heading says "Outlook
Newsreader".

Then you'll have to get more forceful. Close Outlook. Rename outcmd.dat.
Re-open Outlook. Note, you will lose and need to recreate any Toolbar
customizations that you made.
