Website page link endings

I design all my websites in FrontPage.

But why must I add ' .htm ' at the end of every page link in order for said page to load?

For example, if I type in:

www.mydomainishere.com/page2

the page will not load.

In order to get it to load I must type www.mydomainishere.com/page2.htm

Yes, but I don't name the page 'page2.htm'

I name the it 'page2'

So FrontPage is automatically adding the '.htm' to the end of it. Is there anyway I can get around this?

Somewhere in the options/preferences you can set the default extension for the different types of page I would suggest.

Other than that, set it as you save it. You will need to set Windows to show file extensions first though.

Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder -> View -> Uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types"

Next answer is;
No, you can't have a page without an extension.
It's done with either rewriting the physical file names using .htaccess trickery, or using subfolders and index pages.
