Hi fellows,

I'm looking for a registry to switch InternetExplorer (5.5) from
OfflineBrowsing to default/online mode.

Although I'm sure it's obvious, I cannot find it - and google&co
didn't.

Any one out there with the solution at hand?
Would appreciate if you share it...

Offhand, I have no idea. But you can likely find it using REGMON

Thanks anyhow.
Meanwhile I found that the critical behaviour is controlled through
the registry key:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"GlobalUserOffline"=dword:00000000

I guess that there must be a GroupPolicy to disable this setting.

Any idea how I can find it?

Could not locate it, and there are lots of policies dealing with
related issues - seems to much to just try them.

Meanwhile I found a solution.
The following ADM template provides it:

CLASS USER
CATEGORY "FOERSTER DS 2000"
POLICY "WinInet Start Condition"
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings"
PART "Demand Offline Mode" DROPDOWNLIST
VALUENAME "GlobalUserOffline"
ITEMLIST
NAME "Force online mode" VALUE NUMERIC 0 DEFAULT
NAME "Force offline mode (not for DS2000)" VALUE NUMERIC 1
END ITEMLIST
END PART
END POLICY
END CATEGORY

It works fine. Loading it into gpedit.msc (mmc-Console), then
activating the corresponding policy works fine from my development
workstation (german version of Win2kProf, SP4).

But I need to apply the policy on workstations with
US-Win2kProf,SP4.
And this fails. The registry key (s. above) isn't modified.
Nor is any rule established in the
HKCU/.../GroupPolicyObjects/ section,
where I would expect to see the policy.

Why? Does anybody know what I'm missing. Or if US machines need any
additional trick?

The only thing I could imagine is that there's a contradictionary
policy rule anywhere. But how can I find it.

If anybody please could check if this works on his/her machine,
and export the portion of the GroupPolicyObject section where the
relevant entry resides, this would certainly help me!

Best regards
Bernhard
