i used to have TB ask me when i launch it (i.e, when I click on the TB image button) whether i wished to go online or offline when TB opens up. But I turned this setting off some time ago & now i have forgot how & having trouble finding solution. It was as i remember fairly simple. Can any one help me? your advice/comments would be very appreciated . thank you

Chosen solution

'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Advanced' > 'Network & disc space' tab or 'Menu icon' > 'Options' > 'Options' > 'Advanced' > 'Network & disc space' tab click on 'Offline' button select: 'Ask me for online state at startup'

Make any other sections you require. click on OK

The next time you startup, it should ask you whether to use 'offline' or 'online'.
