Hi guys
I was wondering if this is normal...
If I select work offline in (Window Media Player) and then close Windows Media Player and launch (Outlook Express), Out look Express starts in offline mode and keeps starting in offline mode until I change the setting in Windows Media Player.

It "may" just be toggling a setting in Internet Explorer's settings.

Hi craig, I'm not a user of Outlook Express, but I just tried that out of interest, and the same thing happens.

In fact it works the other way round as well. Select "work offline" in Outlook, and Windows Media Player follows suit.

Mentions those two programs here, perhaps it's to do with zone settings? (scroll down)

Have a read here and it'll throw some light on the subject hopefully, sorry was too exhaustive to read thru that i don't use Outlook
