Working Offline in Windows Vista

Expand Post »
I have a new Compaq Presario Desktop computer that uses the Windows Vista Home Premium OS. When I finish reading my email messages (in Earthlink WebMail) I would like to play a game offline but don't know how to disconnect from the Internet to do so. From the START menu, I see the options Log Off, Lock, Restart, Sleep, Hibernate, and Shut Down. Which one should I click that would get me offline and yet not turn off the computer. Any help is welcome. Thank you.

Re: Working Offline in Windows Vista

the option to disconnect is under the network/sharing centre in control panel.

Re: Working Offline in Windows Vista

Thanks, jbennet! I'll try that. But it's really too bad that there isn't some shortcut that I could place on my desktop rather than having to go through the Control Panel. Do you know of any other way? Thank you.

Re: Working Offline in Windows Vista

in xp (not sure about vista) there should be an icon in your system tray which you can right click
