SYMPTOMS

The Help for Microsoft Frontpage Express states in the "Introducing Microsoft Frontpage Express" section, second paragraph:
"FrontPage Express also works with the Customize this Folder wizard (on the View menu in My Computer) so that you can easily customize how your folders appear."
However, if you try to use the wizard to customize a folder, the wizard starts the Notepad program instead of Frontpage Express.
