I'm with Steve on this, NetFetch breaks too easily.

This is exactly the problem that I managed to solve a few weeks ago,
with Steve's help ( thanks for your patience Steve! ).

Look to see if you have a file in !NetFetch.Apps.Configs for NewsHound.
It seems that this is the one that NetFetch reconfigures, and is of no
help whatsoever, as the file that needs to be altered is the dunGroup
file in NewsHound itself as in !Netfetch.Apps.!NewsHound.Config.dunGroup
