    hello again
    thank you all for the help.  requesting /test.idq and /test.ida disclosed the 
    path, while /test.cfm and /test.idc did not. trying "attrib -s [index, 
    default].[html, shtml, asp]" did not work.  this was a win2k with iis 5.0, 
    and presumably no service patches.
    
    thanks again
