It's going to look almost exactly the same as it would if you opened it
without the /newsonly switch, except there will be no Inbox and you won't be
able to add mail accounts.

That's a good idea Jocelyn and you understood exactly what I was trying to
do. Thanks alot!
I added the /newsonly switch to the end of the line in the Target field in
my shortcut,
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /newsonly
However OE still opens up looking the same as it did before. Should it look
different or perhaps only show the newsgroups listed under the folders on
the left sidesuch as msnews.microsoft.com?

Ok understand about the /newsonly switch and howo it affects my OE.

Well I'll finish up this thread by saying I deeply do appreciate everyones
help, guidance, and expert knowledge. Thank You all very much!!
