Mark,

I do understand what you’re saying. In the past I had inadvertently deleted the primary .htm file and realized that it deleted the corresponding subfolder. Fortunately I was able to reverse the delete!

I don’t have access to TweakUI but one of my peers does and can test this for me (and him too!). Out of curiosity, I went back into Windows Explorer , Tools , Folder Options , and noticed that the XP setting for Managing pairs of Web pages and folders was set to Show and manage the pair as a single file . So, I changed it to Show both parts and manage them individually . That did NOT make any difference in either Windows Explorer or the FrontPage Folder view. In theory, should it? If so, then I might have an Active Directory group policy issue.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction (hopefully).

Mark,

First thanks for responding so quickly. Interestingly enough, I CAN see folders whose names are preceded with an underscore. The folders and files that I can’t see do NOT begin with an underscore. I’m attaching a picture comparing the Folder view of FrontPage 2000 to FrontPage XP (2002) to illustrate the problem.

On the left side of the graphic, you’ll see the FrontPage 2000 Folder view. You can clearly tell that I’m seeing hidden folders because they’re the ones with the preceding underscore (such as _tests). Look down to MandatoryTraining – EmergencyManage and you’ll see an additional subfolder entitled EmergencyManagement_files (created by PowerPoint when converting a ppt file to a webpage).

On the rightside of the graphic, you’ll see the FrontPage XP (2002) Folder view. Once again, you’ll notice that I can see hidden folders (e.g., _test). As you look down to MandatoryTraining – EmergencyManage folders you will NOT see the EmergencyManagement_files subfolder that appears to be missing!

Fortunately, for the time being I can still use a PC with FrontPage 2000. As soon as we finish our rollout of Windows/Office XP, I’ll lose that option. It would also be nice NOT to have to accomplish some of my work on a different PC just because of this issue!

I don’t think this is a problem of how my PC was imaged with Windows/Office XP. My peers who also use FrontPage XP experience the same problem that I have and yet their software was NOT loaded from the same image as mine. Their software was loaded directly from the installation CDs.

Any ideas?

Mark,

First, thanks for responding so quickly. Interestingly enough, the hidden folders and files that I can’t see do NOT have an underscore before the folder or file name. I CAN see hidden folders that do start with an underscore. I’m attaching a picture that is made up of two screen shots of the Folder views.

On the left side of the graphic you’ll see the FrontPage 2000 view that clearly shows the folders that I’m needing to see. If you look at MandatoryTraining – EmergencyManage folder you’ll see an additional subfolder named EmergencyManagement_files (which was created by PowerPoint and contains many files).

On the right side of the graphic you’ll see the FrontPage XP view that does NOT show those PowerPoint created folders. Once again look at MandatoryTraining – EmergencyManage folder. You’ll see that the EmergencyManagement_files folder appears to be missing!

Fortunately for the time being, I can still get to a PC that has FrontPage 2000. As we finish our rollout of XP, I will eventually lose access to FrontPage 2000. It would also be much more convenient not to have to move to a different PC for some of my work.

I’m fairly certain that this isn’t an issue of how XP (Windows and FrontPage) was installed on my PC because I know of some of my peers whose PCs weren’t imaged from the same image as mine. Their software was individually loaded from different locations.

Ideas?

Pat,

Which Windows operating system are you using? I know when our facility switched to Windows XP running IE 6, we had a similar problem. To fix it, we went into Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, on the very left clicked Add/Remove Windows Components, made sure that Networking Services was unchecked. It worked for us but we work in a very controlled environment. So, I don’t know if it will work for you.

Please post back if it worked. If it didn’t work or you don’t have Windows XP, maybe someone else can provide a solution. Good luck.

Dave, Thanks for the quick response! I had a feeling the r = always was NOT a set from Microsoft.

I’m in a corporate environment and we don’t use Spam Inspector and Norton Antivirus, Sygate personal Firewall on our PCs. We use other products. So, I can’t be much help on those. Any chance you have Word as your email editor or have Outlook to use Word to read rich text email messages? If so, maybe in Word you don’t have “Drawing” checked on the View tab under Tools, Options.

Other than that, I’m out of ideas. Good luck!

If you have set Internet Explorer NOT to show pictures, it can interfer with the display of embedded pictures in Outlook messages. This is particularly true if the message format is HTML.

We have this problem on a group of Windows 2000 Professional PCs that have something odd in the settings. It started just after we upgraded to IE 6.0. The fix we’ve used is:

Click Start, and then click Run. Type regsvr32 urlmon.dll, and then click OK.
When you receive the “DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded” message, click OK.

I don’t know if this works on XP, though.
