Newsreader into Outlook 2003
 

I went through the procedure of integrating the Outlook Express Newsreader
into Outlook 2003. However, when I click on "News," I get a window showing
files in a folder titled "1033." That's a subfolder in MSMAPI, etc.

Sometimes, "News" doesn't even appear in the Outlook toolbar.

I've tried resetting, but nothing changes. And the Customize option for News
no longer is available in any of the drop-down lists. Also can't find any
information in Help.

Suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks.

With the exception of setting up the desktop shortcut, I've been trying all
the techniques described, especially resetting the toolbar. For one thing,
the "Go" menu no longer presents "News" as an option, so I can't drag it
onto the toolbar. During those unpredictable times when "News" does show up
as a selection on the toolbar, it opens up into the "1033" subfolder. It's
almost like it's trying to find someplace to go but gets sidetracked.

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, click the "Don't ask me again" box and then click the No button.

But those very instructions were in the web page I sited, under "Method 2".
Why did you reject them then and not now?

Because too many steps makes a simple problem seem very confusing or
difficult to solve? I knew exactly what was wrong because there is only one
thing that causes the 1033 folder to open and a simple paragraph is all that
is needed to fix it. (and it's just two words "go news" on my end - thanks
to activewords. I should start including the link to my FAQ page but it has
the exact same text on it. :) )
