Static pages and shortcuts

[Bob Kemp]

Thanks to Jim and David. I've not made much progress though. I changed my 
filenames in site structure, removing all upper case letters, with no 
effect. The problem is with the way shortcuts are rendered though. 
Rendering the site gives a list of URLs which accurately reflect the site 
structure, and these URLs represent real html files. So for instance:

http://dio.cdlr.strath.ac.uk/standards/academicguide.html
becomes  http://dio.cdlr.strath.ac.uk/diostandards/academicguide.html ,

and http://dio.cdlr.strath.ac.uk/datasets.html
becomes http://dio.cdlr.strath.ac.uk/diodatasets.html

Where does that 'dio' come from? Is this something to do with the way I've 
set up the folder and url for static rendering in the Control Panel?

Any suggestions?
