Help: Frontpage-made folders are not deletable with win 2000.

Win 2000 Access is denied.

The source file may be in use



Hi all,

I'm a Frontpage 2000SR1 user. In the frontpage left panel I've created a
new_folder in my new web. Now I wish to rename /delete it, but Frontpage
warns me about a certain "Server error" and I can't get "new_folder".

I try to del it from My Computer, but this time Windows warns me so:

"Access is denied. The source file may be in use." . I've tryed to del the
dir new_folder from a command prompt but without success.




Have you suggestions?

You need to open IIS MMC and then run a check on the extensions for the
specific web. If that doesn't allow you to then delete the folder in FP (do
not delete it from outside FP, as long as the extensions are applied to the
specific web), from IIS MMC remove the extensions, then delete the folder
from Windows Explorer, you may need to shut down IIS first. Then reapply the
extensions.

Note: Removing the extensions, will remove the subweb attribute from any
subweb, so you will just have to reset any folder back to subwebs.

You can't delete it from Windows Explorer unless you first go to Start,
Programs, Administrative Tools, Services and shut down the IIS Admin
Service. After that, delete the folder (and everything under it) then
restart the service. Once you do this you will need to do a Recalculate
hyperlinks in FrontPage. Because you're deleting a whole folder and not
just a single file you won't corrupt the FrontPage Sever extensions.
