no, you can control what files get passed through the ASP parser
in the MMC (or whatever the 2k equivalent is called)...
keep in mind, though, that changing those extensions can prove to
be problematic... for instance, if you make the server parse every
.html file, it can slow things down quite a bit, and you may find you
need plain ol' static files...
also, the ASP engine doesn't parse .inc files, they are treated as
plaintext... this can be bad if people know the paths to your include
files, since it can expose your source code... instead, consider
naming them .asp so they get parsed even if a user knows the
path... it's better to display an error than your source code to some
wanna-be hacker...
