turning off front page extension?
Every time I make a new folder and upload something into it I later find a folder called "_vti_cnf" My friend has told me this has something to do with Frontpage. I dont use Frontpage, I do all my coding by hand in Macromedia Homesite. Is there any way to stop this folder from appearing and does it actually have something to do with Frontpage?
The contents of the "_vti_cnf" folder are identical to the folder that holds it.

Yes _vti_cnf does have something to do with frontpage. Some servers have frontpage extentions on by default but if you have access to a control panel, e.g CPANEL, then there is an option to turn them off. If not, consult your host about it.

If you have shell access, you can remove all the files associated with frontpage by typing:
rm -rf _*
and then
rm .htaccess
That should delete all the FP extensions on your account. As was mentioned, first look in your control panel/contact your host, and use those instructions as a last resort.
