Show Me Microsoft Windows XP (2nd Edition)

If you have added several channels or web pages for offline viewing, you might want to change how often Internet Explorer synchronizes your local copy with the Internet. You may also want to have Internet Explorer send you a mail message letting you know that the content has changed. Maybe you are about to disconnect from the Internet and want to synchronize all your web pages and channels at once for an extended offline session. Or perhaps a site now requires that you supply a user name and password. By managing your offline pages, you can easily make changes to the way Internet Explorer synchronizes with the Internet.

Manage an Offline Page

Click the Tools menu, and then click Synchronize.

Select the web site you want to modify.

Click Properties.

To change properties for the selected offline content, click the following:

  • The Web Document tab to change the availability of the page for offline viewing.

  • The Schedule tab to change the frequency of synchronization.

  • The Download tab to limit the amount of hard disk space the local copy uses, specify user name and password options for sites that require them, or enter an e-mail address where to send notification changes.

Click OK.

Click Close.

Synchronize an Offline Page

Click the Tools menu, and then click Synchronize.

Click Setup.

To change synchronization settings for your selected web pages, click the following:

  • The Logon/Logoff tab to decide what content updates when using different connections to the Internet.

  • The On Idle tab to update content only when your computer is idle because synchronizing may slow down your computer.

  • The Scheduled tab to add new synchronization tasks to your schedule. You can also change or remove any of the existing schedules.

Click OK.

Click Synchronize or Close.
