	Actually, that thought had occurred to me, but the truly hackish
nature of the approach made me think twice. It would probably work, and its
main benefit is that I wouldn't have to populate every folder with a
default.asp (or whatever) containing my FSO handiwork. But it's
counterintuitive, and might displease the boss. I'll let the idea bubble on
the back burner for awhile and see how it tastes a bit later. Sharp
thinking, though! ;)
