My co-worker and I were trying to set up the newsreader in outlook. We did so
successfully...once.

However, once inserted the icon started showing a file folder on the 'C'
drive called "1033" in the MSIAPP folder. When we went to remove the 'News'
icon, it completely disappeared from the "Go" selection list and we no longer
can add it to the toolbar.

Any thoughts?

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, clear the "Always perform this check..." box and then click the No
button.

You may need to reset the Menu Bar and/or restart Outlook and/or reboot your
machine in order to complete the process. Not everyone is reporting success
with this method, but try it and see what happens. If all else fails, you
can always create a desktop shortcut to Outlook Express and include the
/outnews switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.

Thanks for that, I had exactly the same problem.

I would still prefer to be able to see news groups from the Outlook pane, I
guess I'm a stick in the mud, is this possible?
