I found that shtml is not safe. As per the given info MS is fixing this issue in the next versions.
Could anyone can make any comment or suggestions on this?



Reports have indicated that the shtml.exe application included with some
versions of FrontPage extensions will reveal the physical path of
requested files when the requested file does not exist.
Microsoft has verified the problem does not exist in a planned service
release, to be offered in the near future.

Thx
Venu.

The issue should not effect you if you and your host are running the latest version of the FP
extensions and the host knows how to configure the extensions correctly
