Going nuts trying to figure out hidden folders

[Rob Gordon]

Hi,

I am trying to publish a PowerPoint presentation in FrontPage. I've
done this before but this time most of the critical files are in
hidden folders and I can't seem to unhide them. I've checked the
"show hidden files and folders in the Web Settings dialog box but it
doesn't seem to work I know the folders are there because I checked
in explorer. Can anyone give me a clue- I am at a loss.

Thank you

Rob

FP hides thicket folders associated w/ MSO files
On PPT when you save a html select the option to not save associated files in a separate folder and they will not be a hidden
thicket

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:
(though this does not affect FrontPage)

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