What's the mechanismn behind the fact that when a Powerpoint file is saved as
an htm and is copied to a FP web the directories associated with it is hidden
from FP and WebFolders.
Thanks
 
Together, the saved file and its like-named hidden folder constitute a
"thicket". Supposedly (hopefully) any application (such as Windows Explorer,
FrontPage, and PowerPoint) will open, move, copy, rename, and/or delete the
thicket as if it were a single file.

Thickets are needed because a Web page requires multiple files (i.e. one for
every picture) while native Office couments do not.
