What makes you think whatever post you are referring to has
disappeared/removed?
(Yes - you might want to be more specific about which post you are referring
to - check your sent items and let us know a subject line.)

What newsgroups/forums specifically (news server, forums name, etc) are you
posting to?

but cant find it.

All newsreaders have a "Delete Post" function. (The wording may vary a
bit). It sends a command to your server, which your server is then
supposed to propagate just like nay other Usenet message. But not all
servers honor those messages. The msnews.microsoft.com server does not
honor them.

Most people believe they can because their newsreader has that
function built into it. But what they don't realize is that although
this particular newsgroup is on a server hosted by Microsoft, it is
also echoed to hundreds or thousands of other news servers all over
the world, and that propagation happens very quickly. Even if you
could delete your message from the Microsoft Server, it would have no
effect on the many other servers it had already reached.

For the same reason, not even Microsoft can really remove it.

Assuming that you are correct, how would I find the original post for this
reply thread:

I just want to know as a learning exercise.

Don't you see it on this page?:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities....general&fltr=

You'll have to scroll down, but I see it:

The subject: "system recovery"
Date: 10/17/2009

But if I were you, I wouldn't even use Microsoft's interface to
newgroups. As you have experienced, it's quite poor. Why not use a
newsreader?

See:

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...l#Tech_Support

And scroll down to "C. Usenet."

And if you scroll down further, you will find links to set up Outlook
Express or Windows Mail (which you have) as a newsreader.

Also, you shouldn't post Vista questions to an XP group. :-)

(wondering if OP will even be able to see my post...)

Some quick detective work turned up this link. I'm sure you can figure
it out on your own. ;-)
