Customize the Folder Wizard Does not Use FrontPage Express

Last reviewed: November 26, 1997
Article ID: Q175542
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 4.0, 4.01 for Windows NT 4.0
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 4.0, 4.01 for Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

The Help for Microsoft Frontpage Express states in the "Introducing Microsoft Frontpage Express" section, second paragraph:

   "FrontPage Express also works with the Customize this Folder wizard
   (on the View menu in My Computer) so that you can easily customize
   how your folders appear."

However, if you try to use the wizard to customize a folder, the wizard starts the Notepad program instead of Frontpage Express.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, associate Hypertext Template files with FrontPage Express. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Double-click My Computer, and then click Folder Options on the View menu.

  2. Click the File Types tab.

  3. In the Registered File Types box, click HyperText Template, and then click Edit.

  4. Click New, type "edit" (without quotation marks), and then click Browse.

  5. Double-click Program Files, double-click FrontPage Express, double- click Bin, and then double-click the Fpxpress.exe file.

  6. Click OK, click Close, and then click Close.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Frontpage Express. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
