Hi,
Whenever I open a folder, whether it's My Computer, Recycle Bin, Control Panel, or whatever, it pops up a dialog box saying, "The webpage you are trying to view is not available offline...etc."
Huh? I'm not trying to view a webpage! I'm just trying to open a folder, not go online!
I'm sure Windows has some sort of "view as webpage" setting somewhere that's causing this behavior, but I can't seem to find it.
Could anybody help? It's driving me nuts to have to click "Offline" every time I open My Documents!
Thanks.

Try this but I am not sure it will help, go to Control Panel > Folder options and select "Use Windows classic folders". OK out. I don't think you have to reboot.
