can't reopen newsreader

[Ron Mineo]

After starting newsgroup reader for the first time(standard toolbard>toolbar
options> add button> customize>commands>categories>go>news: drag it to go
menus and drop over go menu). Account was sucessfully established,
newsgroups downloaded, this post has been posted. Other posts have been
ready. All seems to be working well.
Then I close the newsreader, and later try to reopen it by clicking News on
the toolbar, and instead of opening the Newsreader, it opens some obscure
systems folder in Microsoft Explorer. The only way to get back here that
I've discovered is to restore a restore point and go through the whole setup
process again.
Help!

Close OE, and run this command:
