Front Page is an abomination made by Microsoft a few years ago, It was a piss poor attempt at drag/drop HTML. The only thing worse than Front Page were the IIS extensions that would routinely bring IIS to it's knees, or blow up IIS entirely.
It looks like someone is trying to hit your sites with a Front Page Editor or trying to find the FP specific files/folders to attempt an exploit. deny.. deny...deny Every time someone uses MS Front Page, a kitten dies..
