It was titled System Recovery and was posted on 10/17 09 in xp general. It
had 20 threads last time I saw it yesterday. I searched a number of times but cant find it. "Shenan Stanley" wrote: LOLL wrote: My post has disappeared, Why would this happen?

What makes you believe you can remove 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. -- Tim Slattery http://members.cox.net/slatteryt |

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. LOLL wrote: My post has disappeared, Why would this happen?

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...) LOLL wrote: how did you find it?

Some quick detective work turned up this link.
