I'm sure there's some official line on why they should be in there, but the reality of it is that they serve no purpose other than to advertise for FrontPage (if someone knows different, let me know). There's no harm in leaving them in there, but if you want to remove them here's how to do it without editing the HTML code directly.

• In the FrontPage editor, choose File > Properties...
• Click the Custom tab. You should see a "User variables" field like the one below.

• Click the Remove button twice to remove the two tags, then click OK.

Note: If you close the Web page in the FrontPage editor, then re-open it at a later time and, for whatever reason, go to the Custom tab in the Page Properties dialog box, FrontPage will stick the tags back in (how rude!). You'll have to remove them again. This will only happen if you go to the Custom tab—otherwise, you don't need to worry about it.
