Frontpage is Running Slow
Wednesday, October 10, 2007
A lot of times you will see that Frontpage is sluggish, running pretty slow. There are a few things that you can do. One of them is to go to Tools - Site Settings. In the Advanced Tab, you will see a button under Temporary Files that says Delete Files. Click on this button and then hit OK. You can also see a video tutorial.Now, shut down Frontpage. And then you can also delete the temporary Internet cache from Microsoft Internet Explorer. Now, do a search for files with the web extension: go to the My Computer icon on your computer and hit F3 (to search). Type in *.web to search for the files. Delete any files with this extension.
You can also consider removing the Temporary Internet Files via Internet Explorer. On Internet Explorer, go to Tools - Internet Options. In the General tab, you will see a section labeled Browsing History. Hit the Delete button and this opens a new dialog box that says Delete Browsing History. Now you should see a section labeled Temporary Internet Files. Hit the Delete files button here and a new dialog box pops up labeled Delete Files, asking if you are sure you want to delete all temporary Internet Explorer Files. Choose Yes and the temporary Internet Files will be deleted. You might also consider running a scandisk and defrag of your system if you have the time.
There is also a program called Frontpage Cleaner. This program will do some of the above mentioned ideas as well as a few others.
