For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 version of this article, see 194292 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/194292/EN-US/ ) . SYMPTOMS
When you create a Web with a name that ends with an extension, such
as .com, .dll, or .exe, you will experience the following:
CAUSE
The Web server interprets the Web name as a command that it cannot execute.
RESOLUTION
When you receive the Password prompt, click Cancel. You may need to click
Cancel as much as six times. If you receive the HTTP 500 error message,
click OK. You may need to click OK as much as three times. Delete the empty
Web. Create a new Web that does not use the .com, .dll, or .exe file
extension.
MORE INFORMATION
The password dialog box may prompt you for administrator, author, or
end-user permission.
If you open another Web before you delete the empty Web you will not be able to open the empty Web again. In this case, you will need to delete the Web in Windows Explorer and you will need to edit the Services.cnf configuration file to remove it from the list of Webs that appear in FrontPage Explorer.
