Trying to Work Offline

Boy oh boy oh boy. For years I haven't understood why there was no "Work Offline" option under the File tab in Internet Explorer on my computer. Drove me crazy. It was a big problem because whenever I wanted to view a recently cached webpage--say while I was working during a flight--I had to go searching through thousands of temp files. Today I found the answer, thanks to the JSI FAQ here and here.

In short: Work Offline disappears if you have your homepage set to a file on your computer. I have a plain black screen as my homepage; this was the problem. Ctrl+N and Work Offline reappears like magic.

Thanks so much, Microsoft.
