work offline

I am running vista home premium and sometimes i want to work offline now in XP i can just right click the internet symbol and it gives me the option to work offline but on my Vista machine the option is not there so i have to pull the ethernet cable out (no big deal) i would just like to know if it can be done from the PC.

 

Are you sure it's not there Bill?

If not go to tools>toolbars>customise.

 

no it's definitely not there and when i click "start/all programs" i do not have tools option only "PC help and tools" but nothing in there helps?

I can not show you as it will not let me capture the window with the pop up on each time i try it disappears.

 

Haven’t you got an icon on your task bar for your internet connection then you right click it and disable the connection. Just a thought.

 

got it

 

That's how it works in XP but i can not do it in Vista (see screen shot)

 

Edit. Thought you were using IE bill

 

That's Firefox, not internet explorer.

You should find the offline option either under file or tools, I see along the top.

Not sure about offline from the start button, right click and look at the customise options.

 

Sorry Ed that don't work, it should work from the task bar when you right click the internet icon.

i am not desperate to get it but am curious as to where it has gonehttp://www.getsmile.com/emoticons/smileys-91853/_950/bee.gif
