Newsgroups..

Okay, I know I can use them in outlook express, but I don't want to.

So, is there any other way I can see newsgroups? (microsoft ones).

I prefer doing it within my broswer (firefox/internet explorer).

I use Outlook Express too, but I don't like the fact that Outlook Express doesn't handle yEnc encoded files on NewsGroup. Anyone have a work-around other than YProxy Pro?

You can use Thunderbird for newsgroups. And I suspect there is probably an extension somewhere which will do it in FireFox.

If you want to see newsgroups within your browser, you better use Opera browser, its free and have a built in newsgroup client. I'm not sure however if it's capable of decoding YEnc.
I used to read newsgroups through Outlook Express, but I switched to a stand alone newsgroup reader. I found some great free clients.
I suggest this one: 40tude
