redirect from entire directory/windows server

[joeburns]

There is a directory on my clients website -- every page in that directory is being removed from the site. Some of these pages will have been bookmarked by customers. On a windows server, is there a way to redirect everything that comes into that directory to the home page?

There's an easy way to do that on a Unix server with an htacces file -- but that doesn't work with a Windows server. Thanks

These will work if I put them in a specific page. There are 50 pages in the directory and they are all being removed. A customer may have put any one of these pages in his/her favorites.

So I need a single page that will redirect anything that comes into that folder to get to a page that has been removed -- so I don't have to put a redirect code into every page.

You can do that with an htacces file in Unix, but I don't know of a way to do it with Windows -- if there is one.

Hmm - you could pick a method then do a find/replace through all of the files using source code and search entire local site through DW. Wouldn't take long at all.

use a scripted 404 page and 301 the redirects from there. Not forgetting to make sure the 404 page does return a 404 of course.
