Error I haven't seen before

Ok. First, let me explain what I was doing. I was simply copying a page from
one folder, and moving it to another folder, and I got the following error:

Server error: This folder is part of a thicket. You may not perform move,
copy, rename, or delete operations on it. Instead please perform the
appropriate operation on the main thicket file:tourney/brackets_report.asp

What is this? I have never seen it before. I thought a thicket was a patch
of woods..lol
can someone help?
Thanks

When you save a Word document, an Excel document, or a PowerPoint
presentation as a Web page that uses an .htm or html extension, a main
HTML file is created in addition to a folder that contains supporting
files for the Web page. The folder uses the same name as the HTML file
of the Web page, in the form pagename_files. This page/folder
combination is known as a thicket.

A thicket is also created when VML graphics are used in a web page.
VML graphics are created when using FP Drawing Objects, text boxes (do
not confuse with any form fields) and Word Art.

Thickets are always hidden in FrontPage, and always appear to be
manipulated as a single object.

In Windows Explorer, you can control how thickets are manipulated:

Tools->Folder Options
On the View Tag, look for "Managing pairs of Web Pages and Folders"
and pick an option.
