RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, use one of the following methods.
NOTE: You should try Method 1 first. If Method 1 does not resolve this

- In Windows Explorer, open the folder that contains your Web content.
To determine where your content is stored, use the following table as
a guide.
NOTE: The folders listed in the table are the default folders created
when you install FrontPage. If you configured your Web server to use
a different content root, select that folder instead of the one
listed in the table.
