You have what is called a cluster
- a folder and associated files linked to a page being managed as a pair
(the cluster folder home_files is hidden by FP, but managed by FP)
The cluster is created when you create a file outside of FP, and then copy it into a FP site
(in say MS word or when you save a page from your browser that has images, etc)
The folder home_files is being renamed to match the forced renaming of home.htm because FP does not see a valid home page file in
the site
- try creating an empty index.htm file in your site, you can include a redirect in it to index.php
(if your host has index.php as the top level home page, the index.htm will be ignored)
Or Delete Home.htm from your site (FP will also delete the associated cluster folder home_files)
- recreate home.htm in your site, but don't copy the old version w/ the cluster back it to the site

| creating new xml & gif files to match.
