Create a New Shortcut to the FrontPage Executable File

In some cases, you may be able to correct this problem by creating a new shortcut to the Frontpg.exe file.

To create a shortcut to the FrontPage executable file, follow these steps:

1. Right-click an open area on the Desktop, point to New, and then click Shortcut.
2. Click Browse.
3. Browse to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Frontpg.exe, click Open, and then click Next.
   
   NOTE: A typical installation of FrontPage installs the program files to this location. If you selected a different installation location during Setup, you must browse to that location and select the Frontpg.exe file.
4. Type a name for the shortcut. If a Finish button appears at the bottom of the dialog box, click the Finish button. If a Next button appears at the bottom of the dialog box, click the Next button, click the icon that you want to use for the shortcut, and then click Finish.
5. Double-click the shortcut on the Desktop to start FrontPage.
