256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SYMPTOMS
If you create an Active Server Pages (ASP) page by using Design-Time Controls in a Microsoft Visual InterDev project, and you then open the page in FrontPage and save it again, FrontPage may remove or change the HTML code or ASP code for the controls.



CAUSE
When you open a Web page in FrontPage, FrontPage reformats the code for all WebBot components that it finds in the Web page. Because the Design-Time Controls in Visual InterDev are based on FrontPage WebBot components, FrontPage reformats the code for those components also.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use one of the following methods.

Method 1
Do not use FrontPage to edit pages that were created in Visual InterDev and that use Design-Time Controls.

Method 2
Modify the registry so that FrontPage cannot modify the properties of these Design-Time Controls. To do this, follow these steps.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

 Quit all instances of FrontPage. Start Notepad.  Type or paste the following text into Notepad: REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{B6FC3A14-F837-11D0-9CC8-006008058731}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{B5F0E46C-DC5F-11D0-9846-0000F8027CA0}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{CEB04D01-0445-11D1-BB81-006097C553C8}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{277FC3F2-E90F-11D0-B767-0000F81E081D}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{B5F0E460-DC5F-11D0-9846-0000F8027CA0}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{B5F0E450-DC5F-11D0-9846-0000F8027CA0}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{B5F0E45D-DC5F-11D0-9846-0000F8027CA0}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{705396F5-3471-11D1-B693-006097C9A884}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{8CC35CD6-E98B-11D0-B218-00A0C92764F5}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{8EA785B1-4738-11D1-B47C-00A0C959BB15}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{9CF5D7C2-EC10-11D0-9862-0000F8027CA0}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{58F3D268-FEDF-11D0-9C7F-0060081840F3}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{61EAA0F0-4988-11D1-8C43-00A0C959BC0A}]  Save the file to your desktop as DisableDTCs.reg . Quit Notepad. Double-click the DisableDTCs.reg file on your desktop.</li> Click Yes if you are prompted to add the information to the registry.</li></ol>

NOTE: This change only applies to the currently logged-on user. On a shared-user computer, you must apply the registry settings for each FrontPage user.

MORE INFORMATION
Design-Time Controls from Visual InterDev are specialized WebBot components that are based on FrontPage technology for inserting Web content when you are creating, saving, or browsing a Web page.

Changes to ASP Code
When you open pages that were created Visual InterDev with Design-Time Controls, FrontPage makes the following changes to the ASP code:
