Hi, Neerav.

Click here:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....vista.general

That one click should start Windows Live Mail (if it is the default news
client and is not already running); create a News Account for the Microsoft
public news server, which is free and does not require a login; subscribe
you to THIS newsgroup; download the 300 latest headers; and display the
latest message in the Reading Pane. Later, you can click Tools | Options
and customize it in many ways to suit yourself.

Whoops! You said Usenet newsgroups. That depends on which news server you
subscribe to. You will need to learn that from your ISP or other provider.
Mine is news.grandecom.net, but that doesn't do you much good. When you
find the server name, click Tools | Accounts | Add and follow the
instructions to create your account with that server.

If you've used Outlook Express or Windows Mail, the process will be very
familiar.
