 * Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
 * Microsoft Windows 2000
 * Microsoft Windows 95 (with user profiles enabled)
 * Microsoft Windows 98 (with user profiles enabled)

the Specify the location of the new web box contains a location similar to the following:

CAUSE
The location shown is the default location for your personal documents on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows 95/98 (when user profiles are enabled).

FrontPage determines the location for the Specify the location of the new web box in the following order:
 * 1) If a registry setting for the most recently created web is set, FrontPage uses the location of this web.
 * 2) If a registry setting for localhost is found, then FrontPage uses http://localhost.
 * 3) Otherwise, FrontPage uses the directory location determined by user profiles.



MORE INFORMATION
If you want to create a new disk-based web or server-based web, type the path or Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in the Specify the location of the new web box.
