:\*( I can not get any of the files from your site to open in frontpage. I downloaded them then unzipped them but they will not open up with any program extension on my system.  
What program association are they suppose to have in order to be useable?

Hey titanium,  
Try WinZip: [http://www.winzip.com](http://www.winzip.com) The evaluation version is good for almost all home uses.

Cheers!  
Kirupa =)

.htaccess is the only way. depends on your host/server, and the  
config of it all. Basically you write it to require youru ftp password  
outside of [yourdomain.com](http://yourdomain.com)’s requests for the files and images.

make sense? there’s TONS of free help for .htaccess out there.  
Just search for it. If you need a link, I’ll provide one, but I can’t  
promise it’s going to be exactly what you need.
