You most pressingly need to get version 4.0 or later of IIS, if not for any other reason for security. I have some friends who claim to have gotten FP Server Extensions 2000 running on II 2/3 but I do not recommend it.
About the error you are recieving, its not really a big deal. It simply means that you have created a frontpage web on the disk of a computer without FPSE installed, and so when FPSE tried to extend to the virtual server, it sees disk based extensions already in place.
An easy fix to this is to uninstall and reinstall IIS (hopefully 4.0 or later) and then let the default website point to the normal \inetpub\wwwroot directory. FIRST install the server extensions, and then open up your disk based web, which should NOT be in \inetpub\wwwroot at this point, and from the FILE menu in FrontPage choose Publish Web, and publish it to your new webserver by specifying the publishing location as http://localhost or whatever. This will take the disk based extensions of the existing web and convert them to true FP server extensions, and you should have no problems from there on out. This will in essence 'copy' your web from its original location to \inetpub\wwwroot and will work fine!

In a way, yes. It's fairly simple to setup a keystroke logger or even sniff traffic in order to gain passwords to most email systems.
Comment from ziolko 08/28/2002 05:28AM PST
Hi Tim, I know about keystroke loggers or sniffers but I've heard that Microsoft's NET Passoprt writes hotmail's password into registry, if thats true were, in registry, should I look for it? I know its coded with very simply but in wich key?

Your Hotmail password (assuming you selected 'Save Password' is stored in an encrypted form at the following key:
'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar
under
'Password.NET Messenger Service'
I also suspect that the values under the key
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwa

done?

It is Base64 encoded, M$ never bothered to encrypt it. If you want the code to decode it, just ask, but it's easy enough to find
Comment from tim_holman 09/02/2002 05:58AM PST
I found this online tool that decodes Base64 - just paste in the text value for Password.NET Messenger Service and away you go...
