I am using Windows 7 pro with Outlook 2007 sp2 installed. If I go to

Tools | Customise | Commands

and choose the Go category I do not have the option of adding News to the Go 
menu.

I have Live Mail installed on the pc, which is how I am accessing this 
Newsgroup, but I would like to be able to do this through Outlook, as I used 
to be able to do on my Vista laptop.

Please help

Regards, anastas 

You never accessed news through Outlook. Outlook was only launching your 
newsreader. It can only launch Outlook Express or Windows Mail with that 
command.
You'll have to start launching your newsreader all by yourself.

Thanks for the reply Russ.

I know Outlook was only opening Outlook Express, but it sure was more 
convenient.

Best get used to opening Windows Mail myself then. Grrr.
