how do I remove and reinstall news from outlook 2003

[Dan0]

I am using xp and office pro I followed the instructions to install news to
outlook, but when I tried to drag and drop it on to the go button it
installed it to the toolbar instead, and when I try clicking the button it
takes me to folder 1033 instead of any list or install and there is not a
install icon in folder 1033.
do I need to reinstall news, and if so how?

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
/outnews switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.
