Hiding the page name

Am in the process of setting up an area for customers on our website.
I have managed to download a free password programme, but when this
then directs them to the customer area, the URL of that page is
obviously visible to them. I am using Frontpage 2000 but I guess there
is no way to hide this page name from the user using Frontpage. Can
this easily be done any other way.

Many thanks

Nope

You can't hide the browser address bar
(unless you do a custom popup), and even then they can figure it out

No, the browser can always display the URL.

Howver, this shouldn't be a problem because if someone
tries to access your page without logging in, your
password programme should detect this and redirect the
visitor to the login page. If this isn't happening, I'd
look for a new password programme.
