The folder named '_vti_cnf' and some other folders that are similar in
name keep appearing in my web folders. Does anybody know what it is for
and why they are being created?
Thanks,
Chris Thompson

I believe that those are folders for use with FrontPage extensions. They
are onloy applicable if you utilize FrontPage to build your site... I might
be incorrect though...

They are created by the Frontpage extensions. The FP extensions allow you
to edit a website over HTTP instead of over the local network.
They are used to edit websites in Visual Interdev for example. If I am not
mistaken, the files in the _vti_cnf folders, keep track of who edited what
document and when.
On a production machine they are usually not necessary.
If you are sure you don't need the FP extensions, you can remove them by
right clicking your website in the IIS MMC. Then choose: "Remove Server
Extensions".
Check out http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp/serk/ovwhatar.htm
for more info about the extensions.

So If I use Interdev to edit my files, will not having FrontPage
extensions cause a problem? I do not do it across HTTP. I just do it
across the network via Network Neighborhood.
Thanks,

Well, IMO, you're better of if you are using HTTP instead of the network.
If offers more features (like previewing in a browser, debugging etc) than
network access.
If you're the only user: try it out. Removing them is easy. Reinstalling
them is easy as well: simply choose the same menu and choose Install
Extensions.

As a matter of interest, the folders are indeed the FrontPage Server
Extensions. The "VTI" part omes from FrontPage's original developer,
Vermeer Technologies Incorporated. "CNF". of coures, just
means "configuration".
As far as I know, you can't create a web project in InterDev if the
extensions aren't installed.

I love Interdev as far as the coloring of my code to help keep me
straight. I usually just open files in it and it put them in a category
called miscellaneous on the file list. Mostly it drives me nuts cause
they are not alphabetized and I have not figured out how to alphabetize
them on that list like VB automatically does with the form names. I do
get some intellisense though I do wish I could step through the code
like I can in VB, but I do not know how to get it to do that either. It
has the buttons, but they are all grayed out.
Thanks,
Chris Thompson

The miscellaneous files are listed in the order that you open them -
however, that should only be used for exactly that - miscelaneous files.
You should really create a project for each of your web applications, and
then you'll find it much easier to organise them.

These folders are created by the FrontPage server extensions, which are
used by FrontPage, Visual Interdev, and VB.NET to name a few programs, and
are used to manage the web project files remotely. They are used to store
information about the files, such as when they were last modified, checked
out (if you are using source control), etc. Open a folder and you will see
what appears to be a dupe of all your web site files; in fact, they are
text files containing information ABOUT those files. Open on in Notepad
and you can see the type of info they contain.
