Managing Pairs of Web pages and folders

[5tulips]

Windows XP
In Folder Options there are three choices for "Managing pairs of Web pages
and folders." They are:
- show and manage the pair as a single file
- show both parts and manage them individually
- show both parts but manage as a single file.

What does this mean?
Does it have anything to do with creating or maintaining a web?
Or is it something we do in Windows in general?
There is nothing in Windows Help files on this subject.

<excerpt>
HTML documents often have a number of associated graphics files, a style
sheet file, several Microsoft JScript (compatible with ECMA 262 language
specification ) files, and so on. When you move or copy the primary HTML
document, you also usually want to move or copy its associated files to
avoid breaking links. Unfortunately, there has been no easy way until now to
determine which files are related to any given HTML document other than by
analyzing their contents. To alleviate this problem, Windows 2000 provides a
simple way to connect a primary HTML document to its group of associated
files. If file connection is enabled, when the document is moved or copied
all its connected files go with it.

I'll be darned; I've always wondered, too and never did figure it out.
Thanks for the synopsis and the link!
