FrontPage will never publish the _vti_* folders: in sites that have
extensions the folders are created and maintained by the extensions
during the Publish and editing processes. They are used for site
management in your local web, and for site management and
synchronisation in FrontPage extended web sites. The folders are not
required, and are not used, in server based sites that are not FrontPage
extended.
As Steve said - ignore them, but do not remove them from your local
site.
