Hyperlink and Saving Issues

G

Guest

I recently had major system issues that required our IT staff to reinstall
all the software on my pc. Ever since then I have had issues creating any new
hyperlinks or new files. For example, when you either hit Control K or select
Insert Hyperlink, it automatically goes to my Desktop to find the files to
link to. Then when I follow the path to the web, it only lists the main
folder and none of the files or subfolders within. So basically I have to
create each link via HTML now. The same thing happens when I create a new
file and try to save it.

Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

Thank you

Well now it defaults to my web server, but it still doesn't display the files
and folders within. Also, my folder list on the left hand side of FrontPage
disappears when I open a page. How can I get that back to where you can see
both at the same time? Or are both issues related?

For the folder list, after you open a page, click View > Folders and it should show and stay there.

As for defaulting to the server, you have to open the web before it will display anything.
( if I understand you correctly )

The problem is though that the web folder does not open. To elaborate, I will
open the web within FrontPage, open an existing page within that web,
highlight text, choose insert hyperlink for it only to now show the main
folder. I am unable to expand it from there and add the link to anything else
than either that folder or the same page that I already have open.

Oh, and that part about the folders doesn't work either. As soon as I open a
page, the folder list disappears. I then have to open the folder view again,
which in turn hides the page view.

Close FrontPage. Do a windows search for a file named cmdui.prf. When found delete it, and then
reopen FrontPage and see if it is fixed.
( you will have to recreate any custom toolbar settings you may have added )

Double click My Computer, click Tools, select Folder Options, click the View tab, make sure "Show
hidden files and folders is ticked. Click Apply, close My computer, and try the search again.

Reinstalling will not do anything to cmdui.prf - this file is used when FP
opens, and if not found it is created then.
In Windows XP the file is in the folder

%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\FrontPage\State
Paste this into the Windows Explorer address bar.

This path will probably work with other Windows versions.

You should also delete all the *.web cache files located at
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache

and the FrontPage temporary files in
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\

Correct

Note:
- in FP 2003 the FP temp files have been moved to the super hidden folder
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\FrontPageTempDir
