offline web pages

[Bajanine]

I have downloaded some web pages onto my home pc (fast internet connection Starband) and I would like to copy these over to my laptop (slow dialup) so that while out of town I'll have access to these pages without using my dialup connection.

My problem is locating where these files are stored. My home pc is using Win2k with IE 6.

My guess is that they would be located somewhere around here:

C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

but no luck.

Anyone know where these files are stored at?

I figured out that they are stored under temp. internet files, but the os wont let me copy the files to this folder. How do I work around this?

Not fully sure I understand your question.

What I read is that you have downloaded webpages, want to move them to your laptop and then access those webpages without connecting to the net.

You can open an individual page off line, but all you will get is text that has been placed directly on the page itself. Graphs, charts, images, etc. will not display. Unless you are able to access the server where the page is stored and are able to download all of it's content, the page just will not work.

When you downloaded did you not specify a location where to save the file? Sometimes downloads will automatically save to My Documents unless you have specified otherwise.

The easiest way to find it would be to use Start/Find/Files or Folders. In the, "Named:, box type in the name of the html file. Then click search. But you will need to know the name of the page. Go back on line and bring up the the main page of the website in question.

Then go to the top menu and click on View/Source.

This will bring up the HTML page for this site. Near the top you will see the name of the file. It will be ****.html or .htm or something to that effect. Type that name into the Named: box then click on, "Find Now." Your OS will find the file for you.

Once you find the file, be sure you are off line, then just double click on it and IE will open. If you are online when you do this it is possible the page will refresh so you will not see what you have actually saved.

If there is is particular information on a page that you will need in your work you are best to use, Cut & Paste, to save things. Some sites have printable/saveable pages that permit you to save all of the info. Check the page carefully to see if there is a link to do this, that way you get the entire page in one piece which I suspect is what you really need.

Hope this helps.

Well the saved pages are stored as a single file in the ..
C:\WINDOWS\Offline Web Pages\ folder...you can get it from there.

What I do and it works each time is I generate a new folder just for that webpage under my favorites. Then when on that webpage I choose add to favorites and make it accessible offline. Works everytime.
