Are you following the instructions exactly?
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.

|| You must have missed the part about setting OE6 NOT to be the default
|| within the application itself. You set it only in Control Panel.

|| ||| OE 6 is set to be the default newsgroup handler in CTRL Panel,
||| Internet settings, I have restarted machine, as well as Outlook Pro
||| 2003. Select Toolbars Customise, and would expect to see it listed
||| on the left hand menu as an item I can add to the particular menu
||| option, but it is not available.
|||
||| Can't think of anything else to try, and have googled without
||| success. Any ideas?
||| Thanks,
