With all the Newsgroups out there, How does a "newbee" know which ones to
use?

It depends on what your problem is. Click on the news server and in the
Newsgroup display field, type in what you want to narrow down the choices.
For OE, type in outlookexpress, for XP, type in xp, etc. Hotmail questions
can be asked here as well as the MSN Discussion newsgroup, which is
sometimes a better choice

If you are unsure what group you should be posting in, feel free to ask
which one you should use here.

Is your folder tree enabled at the left of the Preview Pane? If you use
MSNews, you will see msnews.microsoft.com with the groups you are subscribed
to underneath. Left click on msnews.microsoft.com and you will see a page
with three boxes near the top. The middle one is Newsgroups. Click on that
and all 2200 or so MS newsgroups will be listed. Continue as you would in
Help. If you want an XP newsgroup, type in XP in the search bar and the list
will be narrowed gown to only groups with XP in their name. You can then
select Go To, or Subscribe for the group you want to have that newsgroup
added to your folder tree and the messages downloaded.
