How do I find other Newsgroups HERE ?

I used to be able to bring up a Big List of
available News Groups to subscribe to, but I
forgot how to do that a long ago.

Specifically looking for something to replace
Windows XP Annoyances which is now defunct.

I have to find out why an "Enter Password"
window keeps relentlessly popping up.

Wow !  I didn't expect so many responses!

I guess I need to explain it better....don't know the buzzwords.
On the left of my Mail window is a pane titled "Names".
In that pane are my e-mail accounts and "Local Folders" and
"News.Outlook.Express".
Under (within) "News.Outlook.Express" is "m.s.seamonkey" - this group to
whom I am messaging.

A LONG time ago, I used to be able to get a huge list of various
newsgroups (?) with all sorts of subjects in them to choose from -
except I forgot HOW to get to them.
This "News.Outlook.Express" has Mozilla and Netscape as subgroups (right
term?) -   that is all I can pull up with the subscribe function.

To be honest - I don't even remember how I got to this Newsgroup !  It
was set up ages ago and still survives - as I do at 71.

I am trying to get to a group like this that can explain why Windows XP
keeps asking for a program password w/o the program being activated.
It is like Win XP remembers an unrelated action and repeats it ad nausium.

DoctorBill, I don't know why you have called the account for the news.mozilla.org news server as *News.Outlook.Express", but who cares!!

When you see the "mozilla" and "netscape", click on the little arrowheads next to them and you should see (after the list has "refreshed"), you should see lists of the NG's available, though you may need to "expand" some that have the little arrowheads next to them, such as m.s.seamonkey.

As for your looking for a group on Win XP, I don't know of one specifically for that, but you never know.
