FP 2003 Messed-up settings - Please help solve...

Been working with FP since 1997, and never had this problem. Am not using the server extensions to ftp. I simply use cuteftp.

Interlinked images and pages the way FP does it now will not work on my cpanel server, unless I publish via FP Server Extensions, and I would rather do it as before.

Until yesterday, everything went fine, images, whether directly copied from a site, copied from another page in any one of my sites, or inserted from within the particular image folder of the particular site were always saved as ..imagename.gif (jpg)

I always open the web, before I edit pages. (What else?)

Even if first importing the image to the image folder within the web site (top-biz),

I insert it into the page, from within the page, source=image folder within the web.

N-O dialogue comes up,

and it saves it with the directory path:
file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/My Webs 450 MB/TOPBIZ/images/20.jpg

when I auto-thumbnail it:
file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/FrontPageTempDir/20_small.jpg

Looking in Temporary Internet Files - THERE IS N-O FOLDER(!) 'FrontPageTempDir' ..., searching for the image '20_small.jpg', the XP search engine does not find it(!)

Even if I would find this hidden folder(!), fetch it, import it in the image folder, which is a rediculous time-effort, the thumb-nail would not be visible on the page just by deleting the remainder of the path to ..images/imagename.gif(jpg)

It simply used to be ..imagename.gif(jpg)

Same with page links:

The links within the site used to be saved as ..page.htm

Now they are being saved as:
<a href="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/My%20Documents/My%20Webs%20450%20MB/TOPBIZ/ebaystore.htm">

Could there be something wrong with the setting?

I won't use server extensions to upload. Is there a setting for me to change?

Have already uninstalled and re-installed the application with servers unchecked, internet services uninstalled etc.

Right now, I upload all images to my server first and use the absolute URL for images and pages, which uses up a lot of time, and unnecessarily so, for it worked until 36 hours ago just the way I liked it...

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
