Adding FrontPage to IE editors

[Vernon Brown_2]

I recently purchased another HP Pavilion 7965. Frontpage folders were set up but were empty so I copied the Frontpage folder from my other HP replacing the one on the new HP. All works except IE doesn't see Frontpage in its editor list options. Anyone know how to put it there,

If you're talking about FrontPage lite, the easiest way would be to update IE to a newer version. If you do a FULL update, you get FrontPage installed as part of the install.

Simply copying over the folders from the other system doesn't do the install part of regestering FrontPage (puting all of the necessary entries in the Registry) to let FrontPage work hand-in-hand with the other software products (as you've already found out).

You could export every occurance of FrontPage in the Registry of the working computer out to a ".reg" file (or files) then import them on the non-working computer to see if it will resolve the problem.

If Microsoft was been VERY nice, you might find a ".reg" file in the FrontPage folders. Double-click on the file, then re-start the Computer.

Thanks Jon; thought it might be a registry problem.
