Microsoft FrontPage Extensions

Microsoft FrontPage Extensions Overview

If you are planning on using Microsoft’s FrontPage as the web-development tool for your site, you will first need to enable FrontPage Extensions.

Note: Installing FrontPage extensions for your site does not install Microsoft FrontPage on your computer. FrontPage is a separate software application which you will need to purchase and install on your computer. (Note: Some computers come equipped with Microsoft FrontPage pre-installed.)

Warning:

Turning on Microsoft FrontPage extensions disables utilities in the Control Panel. When you enable FrontPage extensions, you are telling the server that FrontPage will perform certain functions rather than the Control Panel Options. These options include:
Site Creation Tool
Redirect URL
Mime Types
Protect Directories

How To Install Microsoft FrontPage Extensions:

1. From the Control Panel, select the MS FrontPage icon. The Microsoft FrontPage Extension Manager displays.

Note: Despite the name of the button in the screen above, this does not install the Microsoft FrontPage application on your computer. It installs Microsoft FrontPage Extensions on your site.

3. A message appears, indicating the extensions will be installed within approximately ten minutes.

How To Verify that FrontPage Extensions are Installed:

1. From the Control Panel, select the MS FrontPage icon. The Microsoft FrontPage Extension Manager displays.
