Open Vista mail directly to the newsgroups
How do I set Vista Mail so it goes directly to the newsgroups when I open it
instead of the Inbox?

Thanks.

Re: Open Vista mail directly to the newsgroups
Create a shortcut that contains:
"c:\program files\windows mail\WinMail.exe" /news

That will open your default news account.

If you want to open a specific newsgroup, try this shortcut:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ows.vista.mail

Thanks. Is there a way I can set it so that when I select the mail icon
from IE it does the same thing?

Thanks.

Re: Open Vista mail directly to the newsgroups

Sorry, I have no idea how to modify the behavior of IE's mail icon.
But you could put the new shortcuts I mentioned into the Quick Launch
bar, so they would be accessible regardless of which program you were in.
