"Work Offline" does nothing now?

[Ichinisan]

Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 has no "work offline" option anymore.

Windows Live Mail 2012 on Windows 7 has the option on the toolbar and on the status bar, but it simply switches back to "online" moments after setting "offline." As I toggle the work offline mode in WLMail, there are no changes to "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" (the GlobalUserOffline value does not exist).

What's happening here?

[edit]

something strange happening with a space that appears in my post, but does not appear when I edit my post -?!?!

Do you see "In ternet Settings" or "Internet Settings?"

I wonder if you added the entry back into the reg would it work?? (Set its value to 1 when you wanna go OFFLINE)

Something to try is to disconnect from the internet see if you get the result you need.

Ya of course that will work but he is trying to find a way to make IE not communicate with the net and the only way I can see to do that is to manually add the entry back in.... (Maybe they didnt think of someone doing that)
