Security flaw in shtml.exe exposes local path of IIS web server on Windows 2000 server.

Code
`I found there is a security problem about shtml.exe that   
allows anyone to explore the local path of IIS web server.   
Tested on windows2000 server.shtml.exe is a program issued   
with Forntpage Extention server for viewing smart HTML   
file, If we install Frontpage on Windows2000 server, a   
directory names "/_vti_bin" will be installed on web root   
directory. Normally we can view HTML file  
or SHTML file by the following method:  
http://210.145.32.98/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/postinfo.html  
shtml.exe only accepts html¡¢shtml or htm files, if the   
requested file does not exist, we will get the local path   
of the web directory:  
  
http://207.69.190.42/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/postinfo1.html  
  
We get the following message:  
Cannot open "d:\inetpub\wwwroot\postinfo1.html": no such   
file or folder.  
  
By the way, if we request file that does not exist and the   
extention file name is not html, shtml or asp, such as  
http://207.69.190.42/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/postinfo1.exe,   
We'll get different message:  
Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions' Smart HTML   
interpreter on this non-HTML page: "postinfo1.exe"
