I would like to retain the bitmapped files linked to a webpage on my
local harddrive. I have bookmarked the website and checked off "Make
available offline." I have gone through the settings in the customize
button. After Internet Explorer had downloaded the files of the
webpage, I could not locate the files on my harddrive. Are all the
files associated with the webpage stored in one folder? If so, how do
I locate this folder? If the files are stored among different
folders, how do I find out where the files have been stored?

I am using Windows XP using Internet Explorer.
 
Create a folder and save the site as Web Page complete in that folder.
If still no joy then the site may not be available (not chached) in your
computer.

This Web Page Could Not Be Saved
When you attempt to save a Web page using the Web Page, complete
(*.htm;*.html) or Web Archive, single file (*.mht) options in Internet
Explorer, you may receive the follow error message: Error Saving Web Page.
This Web page could not be saved.

The probable cause is that the web page contains a link to a StyleSheet
which resides
on a different server than the one where the page is located. After some
recent
security update (MS02-023 Patch or later), Internet Explorer blocks access
to
StyleSheet code if the code is on a different domain/server.
This is why the page fails to be saved.

For more information about MS02-023, please see:
322928 MS02-023: Patch Available to Disable Frames in the Restricted Sites
Zone
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=322928

The following is an example:
=====================
1. Open the web site in Internet Explorer on a machine
where MS02-023 security patch or later (such as Internet Explorer 6 SP1) is
installed.

2. Select Internet Explorer File menu and select Save.
3. Leave 'Save as Type' to 'Web Page, complete (*.htm,*.html)

Before saving of the web page is complete, and error message appears:
"Error Saving Web Page: The Web page could not be saved to the selected
location".
You can click OK to close the message, but the page is not saved to disk.

If you do the same with for example everything
works perfectly.

ANALYSIS
========
The difference is that postimees.ee uses:
<ink rel="stylesheet"
href="http://194.204.30.64/postimees/styles/postimees.css">
and aflonbadet:
<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="TEXT/CSS"
href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/sidhuvud/css/files/0,3590,bas,00.css">

194.204.30.64 is a different server than the current web page, while
www.aftonbladet.se is in the same sever.

To resolve the problem, you can inform the web site administrator to change
the StyleSheet location in the website.

I may not have been clear in my original post, but the bitmapped files
are links on the webpage. Saving as Web Page Complete does not save
the files that are linked to the web page. That is why I use the
technique of generating an offline cache of the webpage which includes
the linked files. Then I could copy the linked files that are cached.
Unfortunately, I cannot seem to locate the cached files.
