I installed Front Page extensions and now cgi programs won't work?

Frontpage changes the way your site is managed on the web server.

One of the draw backs is that it manages cgi programs in a non standard
way and may result in the inability to run programs that are not included as
part of Front Page.

This includes most third party shopping carts, page counters,
form mail scripts, etc...

The only way to be sure cgi programs will
work is to not install front page extensions on your hosting account.

Additionally Some front page components will not work even if the Front
Page Extensions are installed properly on your site.
