I got my current Dell computer in January 2003. It had a 'lite' version of Frontpage installed on it that I found very useful. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line it was deleted, possibly by one of the many Windows XP or IE updates. I think I found the set of files on the XP CD that contains Frontpage, but I have no idea how to reinstall it. It's not listed as an option in the remove/add programs list. Because I didn't use it that frequently, I have no idea how many updates back this occurred. Can anyone help?

FrontPage Express is probably what you had. It has nothing to do with FrontPage whatsoever. However, both it and its big brother are to be avoided.

Ritten - Bite me. The Dell is the best computer I've even had. Never crashed or had anything else wrong. If you have any other suggestions for a simple WYSIWYG program (freeware, of course) to replace FP, I'm all ears.
Cartman - One of them is a .CAB file, which I can extract other files out of. The others are .**_ (can't remember exactly, not at home right now). The point is even if these are the right files, I have no way (that I know of) of installing them properly.

Files with extensions that end in an underscore are just compressed versions of themselves, which you can restore by using a command-line utility called "expand". The first two characters in the extension of a compressed file are the same as in its uncompressed form, so *.dl_ would expand to *.dll, *.ex_ to *.exe and so on. Anyway, one of those other files should be an install program belonging to that .cab archive. Expand it (along with the rest, of course), run it, and see what happens. B)

If it is Frontpage Express, I think that's available if you select the "Add or remove Windows components" part of the Add/remove programs window.
If not, it might be available for download from the Microsoft web-site.

Has anyone considered the possibility that it was a timed trial?

Default Dells tend to be crammed full of extra bullshit that slows things down. The same is true for any mass-produced PC nowadays.

Timed Trials don't disappear. They instead flash up "TIME TRIAL OVER! BUY THE SOFTWARE! BUY IT! NOW!" in very big letters. Over and over again.
NS Composer comes to mind as what?
And PC-manufacturer snobbery is almost as dull as car manufacturer snoober.

Mozilla Composer is indeed a nice and simple editor.
