Is there any way to store/preserve the url of the page you are saving within the saved page. I have trouble sometimes getting to the same page in the net when all I have is stored is the html page.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking how so save the URL of a specific web page?

not exactly sure either what you are asking. You can bookmark the page to your favorites or left click in the address bar, right click copy, right click paste the address to where you want it.

Then you can manually (or via a schedule, I do it Friday nights), launch the Syncronize Manager.
On XP, it's Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Syncronize

Essentially your solution works although I would one, prefer, a more non-IExplorer dependent solution, and two, I still don't know how to control where the offline files have gone but it's just a matter of time.

Thanks and BTW, bear with my forgetting to check your solution as early as possible. I kinda forgot til I got this reminder.
