SYMPTOMS

_layouts/1033/styles/ows.css

Files in the _layouts folder are not available for editing.

-or- When you click Ows.css and then click Remove, the style sheet is removed from your Web site. If you click Add, you may not be able to link a new style sheet to your Web site.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Ows.css lives in a protected folder on the server.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, locate the Ows.css file by using Microsoft Internet Explorer (located here: http:// /_layouts/1033/styles/ows.css). When you are prompted, save the Ows.css file, and then import this file into your Web Site in FrontPage. After you have a local copy of the Ows.css file in your Web site, you can edit the local copy.
