Default Viewing newsgroups in Outlook 2003

Yes, just go to the Microsoft Knowledge Base Library (http://support.microsoft.com) and type in "additional command line switches" - you will get about 200 hits.

However, if all you want to know is the list for Outlook, use F1 help and type "command line switches" for a list of ones that work with Outlook.

| Milly:
| You mentioned the command line switch :/outnews". Very interesting -
| does Microsoft , or anyone for that matter, publish a list of command
| line switches and their use?
| Thanks again

| 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.

|| More problems.
|| I wanted to add the button for "News" to my button bar in Outlook
|| 2003.
|| I went to Add or Remove Buttons, Customize, Commands. Under the
|| Categories column, I selected Go. I then scrolled down the Commands
|| list and dragged News up to my button bar.
|| Problem is, when I click on the News button it does not launch the
|| Outlook Express News Reader (Outlook doesn't have its own news
|| reader). Instead it opens a Windows Explorer window at the file
|| location:
|| C:\Program Files\Common Files\SYSTEM\MSMAPI\1033
|| There are files in this folder that look like they may be associated
|| with OE, like outex.dll.
|| Outlook Express is installed on the computer and I can run it no
|| problem by double-clicking its icon.
|| Any ideas why it doesn't launch from within Outlook? Any chance this
|| is somehow related to the problem I previously reported? (See: "Can't
|| set Word as email editor in Outlook 2003)
|| Any ideas appreciated.
|| Thanks
|| Jim
