Turning Off New Newsgroup Notifications in Outlook Express

If you use Outlook Express to browse Usenet or other newsgroups, you’re probably familiar with the “There are new newsgroups” notification message box that appears when you open the program and attempt to connect to the newsgroup server. While this serves as a handy reminder if you’re interested in knowing as new groups come online, it can also be an annoyance in cases where you only view and post to certain specific groups.

Thankfully, turning off this notification is easy enough. Just open Outlook Express and head to the Tools > Options window.  On the General tab in the Options window, look for the second setting in the General section - Notify me if there are any new newsgroups - then uncheck the option and click OK. The message alerting you to the existence of new newsgroups will no longer appear when you connect to the newsgroup server.
