newreader gone missing

[Josh]

The button to start the newreader has diappeared. Originally when i dragged it out of the customize window (like the help file says) it didn't go into the Go menu, but instead it appeared as its own menu, except it didn't drop down it just started the newsreader. So i tried dragging it into the Go menu, and now it's gone. I've tried going back into the customize->command window to get it back but it's not there.

I've checked all the other menus, and I've tried resetting everything I can find but it's still not back. It'd be pretty lame if I had to do a reinstall because of this.

Any advice?
Thanx

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.
