If there was a reason you really needed to use the extension .HTM(L), then you have to remove the stock http\errors\notfound.wct. The reasons is this: A URL page could not be found, so wcWEB starts to do: - check for http\errors\notfound.wct - if found, check for a http\custom\notfound.wct - if not found, check for http\errors\notfound.htm - if found, check for a http\custom\notfound.htm - if not found, use internal not found message. Thats the sequence.
