index.htm page changed to index.html when uploading

Every time I publish my websites the index page extension is changed from
..htm to index.html. How do I stop this from happening?

The best approach is to rename your local index.htm to index.html and
republish.

When you publish to a server that has the FP extensions, the publishing process will automatically
rename your default document (home page) to what is required on the live/remote server and update
all hyperlinks.

This is just something new that started happening a couple of months now, it
never happened for over 2 years since 2003 came out. For me to do that I
would have to recreate the menus for 5 websites. Isn't there a fix for this??
