You are correct. I see that it is Windows Mail that contains the
newsreader, not Outlook. Outlook offers the tool button that will call up
the newsreader.
In my case, pressing the button causes a different program other than
Windows Mail to open. I might try seeing what happens if I remove Barca
Pro from the operating system (I am using Outlook presently but might need
Barca to read older email messages from when I was using it before). I
suppose making Windows Mail the default mail program would not help
matters.

Outlook is not a newsreader. it uses OE (Windows XP) or Windows Mail
(Vista).

When the "News" Icon is pressed on the toolbar a different program opens
(Barca Pro2). How do I make Outlook the default Newsgroup Reader? I am
using Outlook 2007 and Vista 2007


I tried changing the default programs in Vista but did not work.

Many Thanks.
