FrontPage Maintained Special Files And Directories
Note: Microsoft FrontPage extensions are no longer available on new accounts, because they are no longer supported by Microsoft.

- _x_todo.htm – Contains the current settings of the To Do List
- _x_todoh.htm – Contains the changes to the To Do List
- access.cnf – Contains HTTP server-specific access control information

- service.cnf – Contains meta-information about the Web
- service.pwd – Contains the encrypted password files
- services.cnf – Root Web only; contains the list of sub-Webs
- services.org – Root Web only; file used as the basis for services.cnf when reinstalling the Server Extensions, so that sub-Webs are recreated as sub-Webs instead of as subdirectories of the root Web
- service.lck – Lock file to keep Web resources from being accessed simultaneously; should be a zero-byte file at idle time
- structure.cnf – Contains FrontPage Web navigational information storage
- svcacl.cnf – Root Web only; file used to store whether sub-Webs have unique permissions settings and any IP Address restrictions, so that when reinstalling the Server Extensions the correct permissions settings are reapplied to any sub-Webs
- writeto.cnf – Back links for files that can be written to by users of the Web, such as Save Results Form handler result files; files that can be written to by users of the Web have a looser security setting than regular Web content
