    Is there a way to extract files from offline content without clicking? I was hoping saving a page offline would give me a folder with all of the content but it doesn't seem to do that.

    ksteele--I have never been able to make IE's "Make Available Offline" work reliably even though (I feel) I have followed the instructions religiously.

    So I usually save a webpage by using File|Save As|and in the "Save as Type" line, choose WebArchive (.mht). This allows saving (offline) nothing but the page itself but the links are active when you are online.
    But I am not sure what you mean
    If you have successfully saved the page offline, you have to have also chosen how many links deep you want to save. Then those links will also will have been saved offline, according to the theory anyway. But you will have to click on the links to access them.
    I'll be interested to see what others have to say. I have always been frustrated by "Make Available Offline ".
