The main purpose of server extensions is to enable the web developer to have direct access to the server through FrontPage^®.

If you remove or un-install the PWS, or if you install a newer version of PWS such as Option Pack 4.0 or PWS/IIS 5.0 , or if you install or reinstall FrontPage^®, you will need to follow the installation instructions in this section to install the correct version of the server extensions for FrontPage^®.

If you are running Windows^® 98 or Windows^® ME, click on Start>>Programs>>Microsoft Office Tools>>Server Extensions Administrator.

If you are running Windows^® NT 4.0, click on Start>>Programs>>Server Administration>>Server Extensions Administrator.

For Windows^® 2000, Click on Start>>Settings>Control Panel>>Administrative Tools>>Server Extensions Administrator.

As an alternative, you may also click on Start>>Find>>Files or Folders and search for FPMMC.MSC.
