Windows Forum / Outlook Express / Stationery / April 2004Simple way to move to the Private Statitionery NG Attached
The attachment is an *.iaf file that will set up the NG server with the Password and Username (It's generic for everyone). But don't use it if you already use the privatenews.microsoft.com server as it might wipe out you current settings. I've never had two or more passwords for the same server.  SignatureGreg Campbell computerpotatoZZZ@ZZZcableone.net What I did was set up another privatenews.microsoft.com and enter this username and password for the new one it put a (1) after the server. So I can still get the beta groups too. Robbie > The attachment is an *.iaf file that will set up the NG server with the > Password and Username (It's generic for everyone).

I clicked on Greg's attachment and chose the option to SAVE to disk. I put it on my Desktop. I then went to Tools, Accounts, News and clicked on "Import." A box popped open. I browsed for Greg's attachment and double-clicked on it. It immediately created the private newsgroup all by itself. (It was listed under all my other newsgroups.) While still in the Tools, Accounts, News box, I clicked on the private newsgroup "Properties" and removed Greg's name and added mine. I also changed his email address to mine. Good Luck, Vicki unable to open attachment...what am I doing wrong? leo@janowick.net Thanks for sending this in, Vicki. We will have to keep a look out for the folks that need help getting to the private server. Adriana Hi Leo, In addition to Sandy's instructions, here's another way to set up.

Good Luck, Vicki unable to open attachment...what am I doing wrong? leo@janowick.net You don't open the attachment, Leo. You simply save it, as is, to a folder on your hard drive. Then you go to Outlook Express - Tools - Accounts - News - Import and browse to the file folder containing the attachment which you then import into OE. You will then need to go into Properties and change the name and email address to reflect your own and that's about all there is to it thanks to Greg. Hope this helps. Bob Greg, I can't open the .iaf attachment you included. Is there a special thing I need to do to make it legible to my system? 98SE , IE/OE6 6.00.2800.1106 Pat (Oh, I am signed onto privatenews, no probs, but am just curious about the extension of your attachment name, or the software you used. Am I missing out on something good?) > The attachment is an *.iaf file that will set up the NG server with the > Password and Username (It's generic for everyone).

You don't open it Pat. You save it to anywhere you want and import it to OE. It will then set up the private newsgroup for you. Just remember to change out Greg's name and addy for yours.

If you click on Tools||Accounts...||Export..., the Account you have highlighted will be saved with a .iaf extention. It can later be imported back into OE by clicking on Tools||Accounts...||Import... and browsing to the .iaf file. Don > Greg, I can't open the .iaf attachment you included.
