Microsoft
FrontPage Extensions Overview
If you are planning
on using Microsoft's FrontPage as the web-development tool for your website,
you will first need to enable FrontPage Extensions.
Note: Installing
FrontPage extensions for your website does not install Microsoft FrontPage on
your computer. FrontPage is a separate software application which you will
need to purchase and install on your computer. (Some computers come equipped
with Microsoft FrontPage pre-installed.)
Turning on Microsoft
FrontPage extensions disables utilities in the hosting account Control Panel. When you enable
FrontPage extensions, you are telling the server that FrontPage will perform
certain functions rather than the hosting account Control Panel Options. These options include:
Redirect URL, Mime Types, and Protect Directories.
