When you create a Web Folder (or Network Place, on Windows 2000-based computers), you make a folder on your local hard drive that represents your web site. Your Web Folder will become a shortcut to your web site. When you use the "Save As" and "Save as Web Page" options when working with a file in FrontPage or Office 2000, the file will be saved to your Web Folder. Use FrontPage's "Publish" button to upload these files to your site.

Follow these steps to create your Web Folder:

1. On the Windows desktop, double-click on "My Computer," then double-click on the "Web Folders" icon. (On Windows 2000 systems, double-click "My Network Places" on the Windows desktop.)
2. Double-click on the "Add Web Folders" icon. (On Windows 2000 systems, click "Add Network Place.")
3. In the "Type Location to Add" field, enter your web address like this: http://yourdomain.com. Click the "Next" button. (On Windows 2000 systems, begin the wizard by clicking "Next," then select "Choose another network location." Click "Next," then enter your web address and click "Next" again.)
4. In the "Enter Network Password" field, enter the user name and password for the author you set up when you activated publishing for FrontPage. Then click "OK." (On Windows 2000 systems, enter a nickname for your network place and click "Next.")
5. In the "Add Web Folder" dialog box, type a name for your Web Folder (the title that appears in the Web Folders list). Then click the "Finish" button. (On Windows 2000 systems, click "Finish" to exit the wizard.)
