Web page opening up Frontpage

I have installed IIS and am hosting one web page from an XP Pro box in my
office. I did this because not only can I learn a new trade but I can also
post daily notices to students and instructors via the page. We have an AD
2003 domain with XP Pro workstations. All workstations use my web page as
their homepage. When a user logs onto a machine for the first time and opens
up the page, Windows Installer shows that it is installing Frontpage first
before it actually will display the page. This takes about 20 seconds but it
is annoying. Is this normal? Why does XP think it needs to use Frontpage just
to display my web page? This doesn't happen with any other web pages, just
mine.
Thank you in advance. Abel

How do they access the page? what do the HTML headers look like?

Re: Web page opening up Frontpage

They access it by IP. It is set as the default homepage on all PCs. Here's a
header:

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<link rel="File-List" href="Default_files/filelist.xml">

I'm taking a stab here ('cause I don't really know) but what happens if you
remove the meta name="ProgId" tag or just change the opening html tage to
<html>?

Re: Web page opening up Frontpage

I removed the <meta name="Prog id" tag and it seems to work ok now. I still
have to test it some more but so far so good.
I will post back the results.
