Thanks Christopher Bell. You pointed out the problem: this file doesn't yet exist. The program says 'could not find', when it should say 'file not created', then prompt for a path. The FrontPage Server Extensions keep author logs in this folder, so it should be deleted or configured to prevent browsing. This folder holds several files that contain various metadata for your web site, and should be secured. This folder is used by FrontPage for scripts that search web sites using Index Server.

Administrators that configure Index Server searching may want to keep this folder, or they may wish to delete it. The potential threat is the revelation of physical file paths on the server that are listed in IDQ files. Since later versions of FrontPage only used Index Server, it is safe to delete this folder.

The potential threat is the revelation of the contents for files within your web site. This folder should not exist for FrontPage, and may be a leftover from early versions of FrontPage. The potential threat is legacy FrontPage or other CGI applications that can be executed within the content area that may no longer be safe.

FrontPage keeps databases in this folder, so it should be configured to prevent browsing. The potential threat is the unauthorized access to databases in your web site. Contains usage information for individual pages. This is mostly safe, unless you have pages that are not publicly available.
