News reader link in Oulook 2003 missing

J

Joe Bloggs

I have just had to re-install Windows (XP) and Office 2003. My preferred
option of getting to read Newsgroups is to drag the "NEWS" link onto menu in
Outlook 2003 and launch from there.

I had problem with this and needed to remove the "News" link, and now it's
vanished! It should be in the "Customize" list but it's not. Can anyone tell
me how to get this set up?

Thanks

Failed! "You can only import binary registry from within the registry
editor"

Tried importing, that failed also.

I DID BACK UP before either of these.
