To repeat the problem I am trying to resolve:
Typing (for e.g)
news:microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_out lookexpress into the
IE8
address bar has no effect.

Typing news:microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_out lookexpress
into
the address bar of Chrome or Firefox launches outlook express and
opens
the newsgroup. IE6 (and initially IE8) did the same. Now IE8 will not
do
for some reason.

You should add the server
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...tlooke xpress

OP started this in the IEAK NG with a different problem description.
It's possible the new problem description has been influenced by replies
he got the

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...&q=ieak+haggas

BTW I just tested this new scenario on my XPsp3 + IE8
where I currently have:

cmd_output
E:\ftype news
news="%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /newsurl:"%1"
/cmd_output

E.g. I entered in the IE Address bar (while the above link was opened)

news:microsoft.public.internet.explorer.ieak

(that NG because it was simpler to type than the above example w)
and got a prompt (which apparently could be avoided by unchecking
a checkbox):

transcription
message
Do you want to allow this website to open a program on your computer?
From: groups.google.com
Program: Outlook Express
/message
checkbox checked
Always ask before opening this type of address
checkbox
button "Allow" /
button "Cancel" /
/transcription

Clicking the Allow button causes a switch to OE open at that IEAK NG.

YMMV

BTW I just realized there is implied functionality in that dialog which
could account for OP's symptom. E.g. what would happen if I:
1. unchecked the checkbox (so presumably I would never see it again)
2. chose Cancel (implying that besides never seeing the prompt
again I also want all subsequent requests to be cancelled?)

If you try testing that case I suggest having ProcMon doing RegMon
tracing for you; otherwise be prepared to do a RIES because I have
no idea where that switch would be stored. eg

FYI

I did get the above dialogue "Do you want to allow this website to open a
program on your computer?" when first changing to IE8. I clicked "allow"
and for several weeks it worked fine. I have obviously (unknowingly) done
something to stop this working in IE but not in other browsers. The
"switch" will hopefully reappear when I re-install IE8. I did try adding
the MSnews server and that too is inaccessible from IE8.

Thanks
