Can you protect .html and .shtml files in directories with access_user class and
if so how do you do it with out changing the file type to .php?

I guess this is a job for apache (force the web server to parse html files as they were php)

Yes, this is one option if you have access to the server cofiguration, but it's also a nasty one. Another option colud be to protect one php file with access_user and then include the html files if needed.

But first it is important to know what you like to do, to help you what is the best solution...

I have a school website @ http://www.hcscolby.org/  I put a link on the site to go the a private administration site so authorized users
could get access the Open Administration for School.  Which has a admin site a teacdher site and a parent site. which are at the following links.
https://hcsa.hcscolby.org, https://hcst.hcscolby.org, https:://hcsp.hcscolby.org and I have a 4th site http://elearning@hcscolby.org  I
only want authorized users to have access to these sites.  I wanted to have the link for the administration site log users in to a page and then they could pick the site they have access to.  Maybe I am trying to make this to compicated.

I think this is more a job for apache since its not important to protect the pages but the whole (sub)domain.

check the net about "protect files / folders with .htaccess", but the configuration you need is not basic, so we will see you again ;-)
