News group menu option cannot be added because it is missing.

Trying to add Newsgroups to the menu as stated in the help...
On the Tools menu, click Customize.
Click the Commands tab.
In the Categories list, click Go.
In the Commands list, click News, and drag it without releasing the mouse,
until it rests over the Go menu. When the menu displays a list of commands,
point to where you want the command to appear, and then release the mouse.

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.

Note that this is MS Outlook, not express. Strangely OE was the only option
for the default reader.
Tried setting the default newsreader to OE and still cannot launch the
Newsreader or even find where to start it from.

But when I go to 'Go' there is not a 'News' option to select.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

Oops, well just getting in and out of Outlook didnt seem to do it.
Rebooted and it is there now.
Must have missed an open window or just didnt see it the first time.
Thanks
