Outlook Express - where newsgroups stored?

[Slickone]

Where does it store it's list of groups, headers, message bodies, etc?

umm... like how do you set one up? You go into the accounts menu and to the news tab and setup your news account. You will then see the server link on the left hand side under your email boxes/folders. OE is not that great for news for many reasons but if you are just doing text then its not too bad but pretty slow. You'd be much better off getting a dedicated news browser.

No, where are they stored on the hard drive?

oh... trying to remember of the top of my head. IIRC its in a users folder in my documents in the identities folder. But, usually outlook stores the newsgroup data along with your other mail data and calanders and basically everything in one large Database file...

Tools->Options->Maintenance shows the path to the files.
