Question Details:

My Internet Explorer, which launches in Yahoo,has started defaulting to "work offline". This is easily resolved by un-checking the "work offline" in the Tools menu, but is annoying. Can you help please ?

Answer:

This issue can occur if the GlobalUserOffline DWORD value is not changed from 1 to 0 when you click the Work Offline command to remove the check mark.

To work around this issue, set the GlobalUserOffline DWORD value to the value 0 in the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\ Internet Settings
