How do I convert a thicket file into a 'normal' ASPX page?

I have used a default page as a format for other pages on a sharepoint site
but I keep getting a message about the files being 'thicket files' ....
should I worry about this? Do I need to change the file format?

The file index.htm will have an associated folder named index_files -
these two form the thicket.
index_files will contain images that are used in index.htm.
You need to break the thicket connection between file and folder, and
move the images where they can be used by all pages using the
template. Unfortunately, FrontPage will permanently hide the folder.

About Thickets:
When you save a Word document, an Excel document, or a PowerPoint
presentation as a Web page that uses an .htm or html extension, a main
HTML file is created in addition to a folder that contains supporting
files for the Web page. The folder uses the same name as the HTML file
of the Web page, in the form pagename_files. This page/folder
combination is known as a thicket.

A thicket is also created when VML graphics are used in a web page.
VML graphics are created when using FP Drawing Objects, text boxes (do
not confuse with any form fields) and Word Art.

Thickets are always hidden in FrontPage, and always appear to be
manipulated as a single object.

In Windows Explorer, you can control how thickets are manipulated:

Tools->Folder Options
On the View Tag, look for "Managing pairs of Web Pages and Folders"
and pick an option.
