FrontPage needs to add information to your folder question

Hi...I am praying you can help. I have been using the "open site" function
in frontpage to open a folder to view all of the files in the folder view.
I was getting the warning "FrontPage needs to add information to your folder
in order to help manage your Hyperlinks and other Web site content." which
after about 100 times of doing it, I checked the box "don't warn me about
this again"


After I checked the don't warn me again box, I get this message every time I
try to open a folder as a website "The URL.. is not contained within a
Windows Sharepoint Services site"

I have spent several hours in Frontpage help, Microsoft help, and Google
trying to find out how to get it back to the way it was. Please help me.

Thanks in advance for your time.
 
Sounds like you're opening a normal folder containing your webpages and NOT
a website. Did you actually create a website? Does the folder you're opening
have a blue globe on the icon?

You can not open just a normal folder in FP
You can open a web (a folder converted to a web to open a series of related pages in the "folder")
or you can just open a single page

Well, then you aren't opening a "web" as FP defines it. Thus the error
message is correct and appropriate.

Why not just convert it into a web if it bugs you that much?

You can always strip those files out if you publish somewhere else or send
them along to be ignored.
