MORE INFORMATION
To disable access control, perform the following steps:
- Make sure the FrontPage Server extensions are uninstalled. To do this,
use the following procedure:
- In the FrontPage Server Administrator, click to highlight Port 80 or
the IP address.
- Click Uninstall.
- Open the Frontpg.ini file in a text editor, such as Notepad, and insert
the following line under the [FrontPage 3.0] section:
AccessControl=0
- Save the Frontpg.ini file. The default location for this file is
C:\Winnt\Frontpg.ini (for Windows NT) or C:\Windows\Frontpg.ini (for
Windows 95 and Windows 98).
- Reinstall the FrontPage Server Extensions to IIS.

- To verify that the access control has taken effect, open FrontPage
Explorer and click the Tools menu.
- If the Permissions option is unavailable (grayed), then changing the
access control was successful.
Changing the access control disables all interaction between FrontPage and
the NTFS file permissions in the Web area.
For more information on configuring IIS, please consult the IIS Readme.txt
file included with the FrontPage Server Extensions.
