INI File Settings

Wizards should store any settings they wish to preserve in the temp subdirectory of the FrontPage installation directory. This is a change from the FrontPage 1.1 SDK, which suggested that settings files be saved in the data subdirectory. The name of each INI file should be the same as the base name of the wizard executable program but with an .INI extension. The INI file is separated from the program so that the wizard directory can be mounted on a read-only disk drive, such as in a local-area network or with a CD-ROM. This is also why all wizards place their generated files into the FrontPage temp directory.

The location of the FrontPage webs and pages directories can be modified using the keys WebWizardsDir and PageWizardsDir in the “FrontPage 3.0” section of the file frontpg.ini in the Windows directory.
