I have seen a few cases of this so I wanted to let everyone know.  If you install the FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) on a web server, it will install some configuration files in a directory under your web site called _vti_cnf.  This folder contains a bunch of files that FPSE use to update files and perform the various tasks that it needs to do.
