By default Outlook will go to Outlook Express when you invoke a newsreader from it, but you can use any newsreader you prefer. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

It already is, by default. The Go News command in Outlook launches your

If you are using Outlook 2007 in Vista, the Go-News command will ALWAYS launch Windows Mail, whether you have designated another program as Default Newsreader or not. It's hard coded.... |

There is 3rd party programs that will do newsgroups in Outlook. Newshound is the best of the bunch and works and looks like the newsgroups in Outlook Express http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/news.htm -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

Besides the fact it won't work in Vista with LiveMail, many people can't
find go, news in the customize commands dialog. The fix: 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 (or mail) 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. Better is a shortcut on the start menu that adds /newsonly to the command line (I'm not sure it works with LM.) -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Do you keep Outlook open 24/7?
