Should "My Web Sites" be a Web site itself?

[Ed Sowell]

When I look at c:\users\ed\documents\My Web Sites in Windows Explorer the
icon is a floder with the blue&green earth sphere. Thus when I open one of
my (disk-based) Web sites in My Web Sites with FP all of my Webs are shown
as sub-webs of a root Web called My Web Sites. I don't know what I did that
caused this, but it looks wrong to me. If so, how do I fix the problem? Can
I just My Web Sites\_private etc. and then change the icon of the My Web
Sites folder?

TIA

Nothing is wrong - there is no problem, and all you did was install
FrontPage. The folder "My Web Sites" is created by FrontPage as a web site
when FrontPage is installed.
The location for any web sites you create default to sub webs of "My Web
Sites", but you can create web sites anywhere, I place disc based websites
in the folder C:\mywebs

Any sub web is treated by FrontPage as though it were a complete, unique web
site; the only problem is that root relative links fail - but these will
fail anyway even if "My Web Sites" was an ordinary folder.

Thanks, Ron. That's a relief!

I too have put Webs elsewhere, e.g., as a subfolder of an ordinary folder. I
wonder why FP makes My Web Sites a Web? What use does it have?
