Howdy.

You should always manage FrontPage permissions through
FrontPage, and not through IIS Manager or Windows
Explorer. The reason is that FrontPage uses relatively
complex patterns of permissions.

First, make sure the FrontPage Server Extensions are
installed on the virtual server you're trying to use.
Then, if the existing permissions aren't working, follow
the procedure described at:
