Why is the HTM file of a page saved in FF also being deleted, if one deletes the subfolder with the corresponding files?
Alright, let me explain: When I'm saving a web page in FF, this will create a .HTM file as well as a subdirectory with matching filename plus suffix "-Dateien" (German version - I'd guess in the English version it would probably be "-files" or maybe "-data" instead...). Anyway, now if I delete that subdirectory (including all its content) with the Windows Explorer (I'm still using XP, btw), it'll also delete the corresponding .HTM file in the parent directory. Question is: Why/how does it do that? Could that be some hard or symbolic link phenomenon that escapes me?
Greetings from Munich & thanks in advance!

That is a Windows feature called connected files that connects the main file and the folder with the other files for certain file operations and HTML files among others.
If you delete one of them then the other is deleted automatically (the same for Copy).

You can use the registry editor (regedit.exe) to create a NoFileFolderConnection key of type REG DWORD and set the value to 0x01 to disable this "Manipulate connected files as a unit" feature.
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\NoFileFolderConnection: REG_DWORD 0x01
Change the value to 0x00 to re enable.

cor-el: Thanks, man! This really got me puzzled. So "connected files" it is - well, now that I'm aware of that, I guess I can live with it. ;)
Thanks again & greetings from Munich!
