The difference is the local naming convention:
<http://www.example.com/foo/bar.html>
->
C:/My Web Sites/My Project/www.example.com/foo/bar.html
or
C:/My Web Sites/My Project/foo/bar.html

Kepp all options as is, and optionally setup an empty 
footer comment to preseerve the html (in 'Set 
Options' / 'Browser ID' = '(none)')

All links will be rebuilt relatively, so you don't have 
anything to change inside the pages.

Just copy the www.yoursite.com/* content at the new site's 
place (you could also copy it on a CDrom or on a regular 
folder - it will work wherever you put it)
