My Webs Folder System Attribute Causes Unpredictable Behavior

V

Vanyar

The FrontPage application's 'My Webs' folder has a system attribute. This is
odd and frustrating since its location at '\My Documents\My Webs' makes it a
candidate for backup by most backup software and because as a system folder
it cannot be backed up. In fact for a variety of backup software a folder
with the system attribute can cause unpredictable behavior as 'My Webs'
causes our software.

My question is this: "Why does FrontPage's 'My Webs' folder have a system
attribute?"

Answered in FrontPage Client but:

Actually FrontPage doesn't create that folder,
it's created by the system when the OS is installed.

The best way to back up your web is to Publish it to another location / drive on your machine.

On Windows XP I don't think that is the case, Steve. While I do see a My
Music and My Videos under My Documents, I don't see My Web on XP where
FrontPage has not been installed. Did I misunderstand your answer? Please
explain.
