As clearly as a can state it, I'm looking for help on how to
stop Frontpage from treating certain files I edit with it as
being under a web site and instead edit them as standalone files.I'm using
Frontpage 2003 to edit html files under a folder I'm
accessing on the network (mapped drive). I started noticing all these
"_vti_" type of files showing up under the folder and started looking
into why and where they're coming from.
I believe it's because Frontpage thinks I'm editing files under a web
site when I'm working under that folder. I think, at some point, I
must have foolishly defined this folder as a web site to FP even
though I just want to edit the html files under the folder of interest
as standalone web pages not associated with a "web site". Now, I need
to remove the web site characteristic that FP is associating with this
folder because those extra "_vti_" are wasting space under the real
home for the web pages which are really stored under a web site that I
don't have control over.
I've tried using FP menus and looking through its online help failing
to determine how to disassociate the web site view from this folder.
I've tried searching the web and news groups for tips on this to no
avail. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FP, but it still
remembers this folder as a web site. I tried searching the registry
for values that contained the network path to the folder and deleted
some "web site' related values trying to make FP forget about this web
site definition without success.
Of course, I may be misunderstanding the key concepts here, but as
best I can tell what I want to do is to make FP stop thinking of this
folder as a web site without having to actually delete the folder.
I am able to edit html files under other network folders without FP
insisting on taking a web site view of them. That leads me to
believe that there should be a way of getting FP to move away from
its web site view of the folder I'm having a problem with. I just
can't seem to figure it out. Thanks ahead of time for any help on this. For
any direct replies, please address to
