newsgroup problem
 
I have been accessing newsgroups thru MS Outlook for 2 yrs..tried to
reinstall MS xp last weekend and ever since then, when i select 'news' in
outlook, outlook express opens? i cannot figure out how to change this?

Any suggestions would be helpful at this point

Thank You

Outlook has always used Outlook Express to read news. Nothing different
here.

You are mistaken. Outlook is not and never has been a newsreader. They like
to fool you by launching Outlook Express with a "Microsoft Outlook
Newsreader" titlebar.

The News button in Outlook opens Outlook Express with only the news stub.
If you look at Help-About in the news reader, it always read Outlook
Express. Outlook never had a news reader and still does not in Outlook
2007. And probably never will.
