Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows

SUMMARY

This article explains how to remove Web server or file location entries that appear in the "Web Server or File Location" list in the Open FrontPage Web dialog box (in the File menu).

MORE INFORMATION

To delete Web server or file location entries that appear in the Open FrontPage Web dialog box, edit the Fpexplor.ini file and modify the [Recently Opened Servers] section. To do this, follow these steps:

1. On the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, and then click Windows

   Explorer.

2. In the Windows folder, double-click the Fpexplor.ini file.

3. Locate the [Recently Opened Servers] section in the Fpexplor.ini file.

4. Delete the line that contains the Web server you do not want to be

   listed in the "Web Server or File Location" list in the Open FrontPage
   Web dialog box. For example, if the [Recently Opened Servers] section of
   the Fpexplor.ini file looks like this:

      [Recently Opened Servers]
      Recent Server Count=4
      WebServer0=file:///c:/temp
      WebServer1=carboncopy
      WebServer2=production_Web
      WebServer3=finance_Web

   Delete the Web that you do not want. For example, delete the
   WebServer2=production_Web line so that the [Recently Opened Servers]
   section looks like this:

      [Recently Opened Servers]
      Recent Server Count=4
      WebServer0=file:///c:/temp
      WebServer1=carboncopy
      WebServer3=finance_Web

5. Renumber the WebServer entries so that the first entry is WebServer0

   and each subsequent entry increments by one. Change the Recent Server
   Count value to equal the number of servers listed in this section. For
   example, the [Recently Opened Servers] section of the Fpexplor.ini file
   should look like this:

      [Recently Opened Servers]
      Recent Server Count=3
      WebServer0=file:///c:/temp
      WebServer1=carboncopy
      WebServer2=finance_Web

6. Save and close the file.
