>> Hi, I just loaded my Verizon DSL account on a XP sp2 Pro PC w/ MS Office
>> 2003, sp2.
>> I'm using Outlook (not OE) to send/receive email and I configured it to
>> link to OE as a news reader.
>> and added a "News" button to the Outlook toolbar. However, by mistake I
>> didn't add the News button to
>> the Outlook Go menu button I addded it to the Toolbar just to the left of
>> ther Go Button. At first it worked great
>> I'd just click on the News button and it brought to screenn the
>> newsgroups I had subscribed to.now when I click
>> on the News button it brings up an Explorer window that displays System
>> files.
>>
>>
>> How can I remove the News button from the Tool ar and add it to the Go
>> Button on the Toolbar and how can I get it to display subscribed news
>> groups instead of some System files? I now access newsgroups by
>> manually opening OE the Outlook 2003 the News button was almost elegant
>> when it worked.
