Re: File Paths

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

If you use the FrontPage menu option File->Publish web/site to upload
your pages to the server, FrontPage will only upload the relevant
files and folders, and keep the local and server copies synchronised.
(See Publish in Help). If you use a third party FTP client, or are
burning to CD, then the _vti* folders can be omitted, as can any other
empty folder.
FrontPage never uploads the _vti* folders.

Do not delete the _vti* folders from your local copy of the web. FP
uses these for managing links, synchronising local and remote webs,
and other FP related administrative tasks.
