FrontPage
Extensions
Microsoft
FrontPage Extensions are a set of server-side applications that allow
multi-user authoring of websites and remote authoring (writing
directly to the server from your own computer). They also facilitate
several other web tools, including forms, counters, and discussion
boards. It is not necessary to install FrontPage to take advantage of
these services, since you are provided with, or may purchase, web
tools that are easily installed on your website.
Note: Installing
FrontPage Extensions does not
install Microsoft FrontPage on your computer. FrontPage is a
separate software program you may purchase on your own.
Installing
Microsoft's FrontPage extensions will disable utilities in the Control
Panel. Enabling FrontPage extensions tells the server that FrontPage
will perform certain functions in lieu of the Control Panel. These
options include:
-
Website
Builder
-
Redirect
URL
-
Mime
Types
-
Protect
Directories
To
access the Microsoft FrontPage Extension Manager:
Click
the MS FrontPage icon in your Control
Panel.
